"It's more than a little trying" By Alan Sorensen The hot, dry weather that is fanning fires across Colorado, and many other states, is also battering the state's economy as politicians use up every hard-earned dollar, just to keep people in prison long after all common sense in what has become purely punitive. It is not just industry and crops drying up, it is your money in taxes, the cost of homes and land. Why, just so these people in office can appease some voters, after all it's better to be seen doing something rather than nothing, even if it's not their money paying the bills. I have heard it all before, a conspiracy theorist, perhaps, but in all reality is it truly conspiracy when real world fear meets fact, so think about it, it is your life and all you care about on the line. I have read about what many good people and reporters think, and researched, but here are a few facts about your life you have never heard about. When I first came to Colorado, such a beautiful state, a two-bedroom house only cost a hundred dollars a month, my insurance for my wife, children and I was only ten dollars a month with a fifty dollar deductible, in other words it only cost fifty dollars for my children's birth. What changed? Politics, abuses so vast and deep that even at my age I do not believe I can answer all the questions, but in a few words, these politicians have used fear to raise tax money, that equals power, and that is a conspiracy of dirty politics never seen before. 1 It use to be that most people only believed what they experienced in their own lives, now these same people are willing to believe, yes misled at best, by all the online information. Such as abuses are vast seen as normal in our daily lives, making it all too easy for us to be used by our fears and willingness to trust everything we hear, and see by those we trust. I will let the facts and ugly truths speak for themselves, do not take my word for it, look at all the online information people depend on and believe in their daily lives. It is all there for the asking. Why is it that our newly elected presidents, legislators, governors, those appointed to the supreme court and many others, talk about the need for criminal justice reform. All the staggering numbers of all the wrongfully convicted, stacked and long sentences that is beyond all rationality or compassion, but when it comes right down to it, nothing changes even the fact that you are paying for it. I have seen and heard such politicians cry wolf, only to frighten people into complacence, to do only what is easy and safe, regardless of whom it hurts. Just as long as people, many innocent, are interned in these modern day gulags, prison camps of the new world so the elected and appointed individuals never have to look the victims of law and order in the eyes. I have said it before; the problem is not just the police, but also the lawmakers themselves. On the other hand, did you think that only those you see on the news are the only ones being brutalized in the name of justice? Thank You 2
