"STOP PUNISHING TAXPAYERS FOR CRIMINALS' ACTIONS"
We think "Stop punishing taxpayers for criminals' actions" sums it up pretty well. Unfortunately, we doubt that the South Carolina Legislature will ever make the recommended changes to the State prison system. There appear to be too many Law and Order panderers in the General Assembly who fail to see the big picture for real reform to occur. They are focused more on getting re-elected than on solving problems. They do not appear to understand that they are spending the State into poverty by jailing people who do not belong in jail.

We would like to be more hopeful on this topic. However, rather than creative problem solving, we anticipate the enactment of more Law and Order Legislation "designed to take criminals off the streets" and "stop the moral decay in America."
We are about to give up--throw in the towel. So we are hereby suggesting some new legislation to prevent more killings and violence. As The New York Times revealed, recent events in the Philippines clearly establish the need to outlaw the deadly combination of Karaoke and Sinatra before the epidemic of violence spreads to the United States.
