“If you can’t love yourself, how the hell you gonna love somebody else?” - RuPaul - - - - - - - - - - - “if by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal.” - John F. Kennedy - - - - - - - - - - - - “Imagine finding someone you love more than anything in the world, who you would risk your life for but couldn’t marry. And you couldn’t have that special day the way your friends do – you know, wear the ring on your finger and have it mean the same thing as everybody else. Just put yourself in that person’s shoes. It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

Commit A Crime To Live In Luxury

Wouldn't you want to go stay in a place like this?  I mean, look at this place.  It looks more like a prestigious club for the rich than it does a prison.  Yeah, you read that right, a prison.
Considered one of the most luxurious jails in the world, the prison in Leoben, Austria has garnered harsh criticism.  And rightly so, look at all these pictures!  It looks more like a 5 Star hotel, than a place for criminals.
Unfortunately, the place is currently booked with 205 inmates, so you'll have to wait your turn.

Isn't This The Truth? "The Secret's Out"

It's sad, but the comic below actually is quite true.  Why pay for a gym membership, study law, rent a house, or buy food, when you can get it all for free in prison?  I mean, sure you'll have some burly man, cozying up to you at night, but you can't beat the benefits anywhere else.  Everything is paid for!

And We Don't Imprison Fairly?

I found this interesting chart online in reference to people who have been imprisoned for drugs.  I find it ironic that the issue of race and prison seem to come up, quite a bit, around election season.  But are politicians reading the numbers correctly?

Drug users by race— 2005 National Survey on Drug Use and Health and "Prisoners in 2007" by Bureau of Justice Statistics, and U.S. Census Bureau Natioanl Population Estimates
