Rikers 45,000. Per Prisoner

    That's the cost to keep one prisoner each year at Rikers in New York. By now that may have gone up. So I wonder why these no goods are being paid to work there? Why? First they break the law costing taxpayers, then go to prison and continue to cost taxpayers and yet the trash gets an education, free medical and dental, haircuts, prison clothes, showers-yes shower-waters cost money- food, phone calls. This is BS, yet we as citizens are told if we don't educate them, they will get out and repeat.
   I really believe, put them in an ARMY uniform and give them a real education by dropping this trash off in war zones. Go in cowrads, come out men. Prisoners are nothing but cowards who can't face life ! You want a free pass, defend your country you slime, and we also need to bring back the electric chair!

Selig, A-rod and a KID !!!! Throw the garbage out !

        Isn't baseball about kids and their dreams ? What kind of a loser uses a kid to think he's placing attention on A-Rod?
       Selig should be put in the hall of shame. What ever A-Rod has or hasn't done is no reason to use a kid. What kind of impression does this leave on that boy? We talk as parents and also as base ball players and coaches to be good sports. This is not what a good sport does. This is not good adult leadership. Lead by example ? HELL no!!!
     Selig needs to get a huge fine for using a child this way. Last note, what does this also say about the boy's parents and for the sake of argument, let's say the parents weren't there and this happened. Then the parents need to take action against a cowardly, misjudged action against a grown and wealthy business who used a kid. If the parents were there, where are there morals, unless they were paid, and again, where are there morals. fine them too. This boy has to know and learn this was so wrong on Selig's part.
   As far as A-Rod goes, if he broke the law, deal with that. These sports players need to be thrown out of the game, first offense ! Why, because they are grown men who know right from wrong and kids are watching and listening to arguments of adults as to why they should be given second and third chances.
   When kids see and hear what they do, they think that if they do wrong, and knowingly, they too should be given more chances with very little consequences.
There are too many young people who can play any sports game and not get involved in beating/assaulting women, who don't get into drugs, and DUI"S and more. Too many sport celebrities are good guys and gals. Reward them by throwing out the garbage !!! Stop accepting mediocre !

Satisfied ?

      This should be enough to tell anyone who deeply cares about our country to fire those in government during the next election. Elect new and hopefully honest, with integrity and caring people like you need in government. If they do it too as in corruption and empty promises, Fire them too, until our leaders get the message. Finally something may happen because of truckers closing down Washington streets !!! See, hit THEM where it hurts and action begins.
