Does anybody know if convicts of the 'caliber' of Mr. Horton were routinely
given R & R weekends before our unjustly blamed Dukakis took over?  I find
it rather hard to believe that he had absolutely no control over how that
furlough program was run.

I am so glad to know that the Demos never do anything like that.  It is
very reassuring to know that the Demos never tell any fibs, that they
offer such good examples for the rest of us to follow.  Like stating
how the public schools are fine places to educate the kids, and opposing
vouchers so folks other than the wealthy or themselves can have a choice,
(cuz we can't have taxpayer dollars supporting private schools, they
say) then backing up their position by sending THEIR kids to the most
exclusive, expensive, and elite private schools they can find (at taxpayer
expense, of course).  Yeh, I know ... THAT'S DIFFERENT ...

Sounds like they really mean the public schools are fine for the common
rabble, but prefer to reserve access to private schools to 'better'
people like themselves.  Gotta keep those lesser folk out.  Yup.  Great
folks, those Limosine Liberals.

I found it more than a little curious how the ACLU could claim 'cruel
and unusual' punishment for Dodd, seeing as that was what he REQUESTED...
Kinda makes one wonder if the motive was more to get headlines than any
concern for the nature of the punishment...  the selective defense of
the Bill of Rights, replete with 'creative' interpretations, depending
on how it fits their agenda and how much free publicity it will garner is
a well known practice of the ACLU.
