Quote of the Week
Bill Maher on prisons:
"We tell ourselves the convenient lie that anyone who bears the label 'criminal' or 'terrorist' is irredeemable, sub-human, psycho scum, and so whatever happens to them behind bars is justified. When the truth is, millions of non-violent Americans have been traumatized for life in prisons simply because they either did drugs or made a bad judgment, usually when they were young, stupid and drunk. You'd think President Bush could relate."
