*   July Fourth, 1997, C-SPAN Congressional Television
*
*   Mark Klaas, father of 12-year-old Polly Klaas, who was murdered by a
*   repeat-offender that was paroled from prison, said in support of prevention
*   programs: "Building more prisons to fight crime is like building more
*   cemeteries to fight the spread of AIDS. It's a bad quick fix. Police
*   chiefs across the country support [me] this 4 to 1. Unfortunately, Congress
*   can't act "soft" on crime, and is about to pass a very bad bill on
*   juvenile crime."

More bizarre distortions in our social fabric due to Zero Tolerance:

6/10/97 MSNBC: California: a ten-year-old girl who reported a classmate
for having a joint was also suspended by the principal, under the school's
Zero Tolerance for drugs policy. Her offense: handling the joint to see if
the other student was kidding her before reporting the other student. The
principal said "too bad, that's what 'Zero Tolerance' means". The little
girl and her mother are shocked. [I am not making these up!!!!!]
