   I get a real kick out of these half-wit posts from Max and the rest of the   
   convicts here.   
      
   "Get rid of the prisons"   
      
   "Banishment"   
      
   I say screw it.  Let's go 100%.  Let's go back to the law of the West.   
      
   You steal my cow, I hang you.   
   You rape my wife, I shoot you.   
   You steal my shit, I shoot you.   
   You irritate me out in public, I beat the crap out of you.   
      
   I'll bet crime rates were pretty damn low back then, and I'll bet the prison   
   budget wasn't squat.  Ever seen Yuma Territorial prison?  Now *that's* a   
   place that would teach an asshole that maybe a life of crime wasn't the best   
   choice he should be making.   
      
   Of course, the crimms wouldn't want that sort of thing happening, would   
   they?  They don't have any Rights to ice-cream or chunky peanut butter....
