rotting's numbers dont lie
we spend so much to kill people when we could bt spending it on education?
i went to UC last year and they upped the tuition addition $1200. that was EXTREMELY hard on people.
i am a comunity colege now (cop courses). tuition was 8. was hiked up to 12. that was VERY hard for so many people. many people had to borrow money to even pay the extra 6. now its being hiked up to 20....
why? budget cuts.
i live in san diego, and the past 2 years our POLICE force has been cut. we can't replace cars (supposed to retire at 80,000. many are going on 140,000), and we are losing more cops (some deaths, mainly retirements) than are able to hire. we havent even had an academy in a year because they couldnt afford it. THe ratio of cops to people is 1:1000. at any time, there are 4 cops on duty.. 4? thats about 1:3500 people. yeh i feel safe.
well why not cut a little out of the death penalty. put moralty aside, 'you murder someone , so we get to murder you'
whats more important, our children, our police force, or making sure some asshole 'gets what he deserves' and dont give me that 'well that killer could get out and kill our kids' cuz that... doesnt... happen... our prison systems are much more efficient than what is protrayed. and we need cops to hunt down these fuckers. and with only 4 people to survey let me think... 5 counties? hmmmmm
