| "Crystal Meth" and other garbage |

I have this tiny little air conditioned corner of the universe for which I am grateful to no end, the direct sunlight in the later spring and summer affects my mood in a foul war. My wife aint speaking to me today. It started yesterday after a brief stupid argument. I'm trying to take the "let it be" view, and work on my own shit, mind my own business, but there are just to many things about my life that don't make sense. I have to keep reminding myself that if I go out looking for trouble, I will find it, and if it's not my night, I could be back in prison so fast, and I just know they will piss-test me again. I would like to (elsewhere) look at the latest media hysteria "Crystal Meth". It's not new. It's always there. It may fluctuate in popularity but it never goes away. The reasons for this latest (supposed) increase in popularity are uncertain, but the news commentators use language peppered with words designed to shock respectable viewers into believing there is a crisis at hand so that they tune in for next installment of the feature on the next day's news.
I agree, that people with bad meth habits should not be allowed to be parents if the insist on continuing the behavior, and people who cook meth in the same house, even the same room as children are just dangerous idiots.
But what I see, is poor people getting busted. Meth seems to be the drug for the trailer park set. I know it was during my trailer park days.
When the media wants to make it look like some social phenomenon is on the rise, it simply increases its coverage. During the years between the Nixon regime and now, the crime rate stayed about the same, maybe even dropping a little. But media coverage of violent crime increased by 600% to 800%
with a correponding increase in prison populations, and therefore profits, for the private prison industry, and for those who sell supplies to the state and federally owned prisons. The increase of police presence, as well as increasing number of ex-cons, and working prison guards living among all of you is pushing the entire country in the direction of its becoming one big minimum to medium security prison. Some say we're already there.
So I'll do my time here where the air conditioning works.
