Sunday, November 24, 2002 KIDS IN PRISON on Discovery Channel Ask the whole world: HAVE YOU NO SHAME ? That's what I thought while watching a Discovery Channel documentary- a world-wide perspective on kids in prison, in Texas, in Britain, in Russia, in Brazil ( most horrible of all ! ). This is indeed the stuff for a United Nations report, for Amnesty International. Not for nothing I decided more than 20 years ago that I never want to bring children into this abominable little world ! You do not need a PHD in sociology to see the common denominator in their lives ( with few exceptions ): They had wickedness to choose ignorant paupers for parents ! One kid says : " If I'm living on the street -and I don't steal- I'll starve ! ". But he promises his crying -dying - old mother ( prematurely old ? ) that he'll be a GOOD BOY when he gets out of that hell. How does their society attempt to REFORM them ? By pure terror, fear of AUTHORITY (" You forget to say SIR, punk ! " ) To SIR with love : Get a life. Too bad for you to miss out on the Nazi thing ! All the other people who deal with these kids -if not evil and well intentioned - look like comfortable, well fed, petty bourgeois bureaucrats -with hearts of pure plastic. How many of these kids have a future in terrorism ? at 1:28 AM No comments: Email This BlogThis! Share to X Share to Facebook Share to Pinterest
