“Indefinite detainees at Guantanamo: Due Process, Right to a Fair & Speedy Trial, American Rights & Liberties, U.S. Image”
Allison H.: Sad, but true…
Rayn: “In as much as you have done it to one of the least of my brethren, you have done it unto me.” Most don’t understand the true gravity of these words.
The following correspondence originally took place upon my Facebook wall, upon my post, “Attempting to Choose Freedom is What Finally Exposes the Chains“…
Rayn: “Choice”
Jonas A.: So much for choice indeed!!!

My Commentary: “Choice”
As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “End the War on Drugs,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…
“This year’s winner in prison population (prisoners in millions): USA – 2.0, China – 1.5, Russia – 0.8. The United States has less than 5% of the world’s population, but nearly 25% of the world’s prisoners. Let’s meet the champions: (Three Strikes, and other mandatory sentencing laws, not higher crime rates, are responsible for the 800% increase in federal prison populations since 1970.) (Louisiana, has the highest incarceration rate with 1619 per 100k residents, more than 2x the national average. Nearly 2/3 of their prisoners are non-violent offenders. This is largely due to the laws voted into effect by voters.) (Private prisons, are the for-profit prisons that hold over 10% of all federal prisoners. The problem: they spend millions each year lobbying for stricter sentencing laws to increase their profits.) Share better. Share this. Upworthy.”
My Commentary: “Land of the Free”?
As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Voluntaryism,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…
“A message from your government: You are free… as long as we control your resources, as long as we control your education, as long as we control your currency, as long as we control your internet, as long as we control your military, as long was we control your justice, as long as we control your land – for your own safety. (acab)”
My Commentary: YOU ARE FREE… TO OBEY!
