I stole GI Joes as a 6 year old kid. My mom found them and we went back to the store and I had to apologize. They dropped the charges and I avoided prison time. But I chose to go if they’d take me.

I skipped school for like two months and was put on probation. I don’t think it was a crime they could send me to prison for.

I got caught smoking weed and drinking alcohol at 15 in high school. Really fun day. Again, probation but I broke the law and chose to go to prison. But again they chose not to send me there.

I’ve only been to jail once. It was for driving without a license, without insurance and without a tag. It was MLK day after bartending at a night club. I had a dream and I chose to go to jail.

I’ve been in fights when I was a child. Don’t think you go to prison for that.

I also punched a midget once. It was not hate crime though. Wasn’t charged. It was self defense.

Don’t drive drunk. No one has an excuse anymore with Uber and what not.

All those people in prison that actually committed the crimes they were sentenced for chose to go to prison. Crazy that’s so hard for you to comprehend. I believe you will get there.

Think about it. If there was this massive collusion with Russia, why the need to pay a British spy to pull together a Dossier of Russian disinformation?

If they had so much evidence, why did they have to alter an email to extend a warrant to spy on Carter Page and the Trump Presidency?

The fact is that they didn’t have any real evidence so they had to try and manufacture it.

Mental health reform can open up better access to cognitive behavioral therapy to focus on behavior change, that is/should not be a burden put on taxpayong society.

Who is going to fund the mental health reforms if not taxpayers?

Give Up, Pinkerton, and Crow OST in last page and a half, not bad.

The burden would be carried through the typical insurance risk pool, and the taxpayer would be on the hook for medicare/medicaid - which is really no different now.

Of course now you’re opening the door to discuss healthcare reform, which for me starts with abolishment of the ACA as well as ridding Medicare from the system as well as creating an open health insurance industry not tied to employers.

Medicaid would still be available and better funded as a safety net.

I anxiously await your next round of questions without presenting any actual thoughts...
