An Interview With Former Guantanamo Detainee David Hicks
“There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods". Aldous Huxley 1962Tags: None

boo fucking hoo
I like how the article doesn't say what he did to end up in there. I'm sure he was just walking his dog in Baghdad....Originally posted by racrguyWhat's your beef with NPR, because their listeners are typically more informed than others?Originally posted by racrguyVoting is a constitutional right, overthrowing the government isn't.

Shoudla sold him into slavery. I bet with modern technology, you could make a pretty awesome slave collar that would kill him if he tried to escape. You wouldn't even have to keep an eye on him. Then if you come back and he didn't do his work, you could beat him. So he'd do the work, and you'd have a slave that you didn't even have to watch. Our prisoners could be the answer to our economic problems.

Lol. Yeah but what do those prisoners make? Freaking beads for wristbracelets or something? If that? They are probly getting paid to mop the damn floor. And the "for profit" is just charging the government, so we all get to pay for it. It needs to be set up so that the prisoners are working for the profit of the people, almost directly. Have them farming and producing goods that are sold to pay for their stay. Basically make them be slaves. Until their sentence is up of course, at which time they are completely free. Also let force them to receive some kind of education that can be useful to them once they are free.
I think that this would dramatically reduce the number of repeat offenders as well. Down to nearly zero. The type of people that go to prison you see, are the types that don't want to do any work. Plus who wouldn't try like hell to not be a slave again?

A few of those private prison companies are publicly traded. At least we have the chance to share in the profits, lulz.US Politics in three words - Divide and Conquer
