Jon,

I just saw a newscast about our hard-done by convicts who are confined to our federal prisions (which I may add have better facilities and development programs than most military bases). To a "man" they will vote (yes, they can vote) Liberal...Quel surprise!

I think this says a lot about the Liberals, who have instituted cushy prisons that allow: free TV, free Internet access, conjugal visits, outstanding gyms, fantastic metal/wood/etc shops; tattoos, free education, great food (ask me, I know - another story at another time), tons of social workers, access to telephones and the right to vote despite (for some) stealing the innocence or lives of others.

I wonder which way the prison guards will vote?

We have the same kind of prisons over here - and then the politicians wonder why people re-offend! It's because they have better facilities inside than out! Offenders get free access to education and support that those who actually work for a living have to pay excessive fees for!
Bring back bread and water diets, and hard demeaning labour - after all it's supposed to be a punishment for crimes commited; not a holiday camp!!

(Sorry about ranting on someone elses political thread, but it really pi**es me off when I see what goes on - I reckon the only thing that stops more people going for the freebies is the danger in bending down in the showers to pick up the soap!!!)
