Not long ago I watched a show called World's Dumbest Criminals. The clips themselves were worth watching. However when seeing the hosts and hostesses of the show it was enough to turn me off. Where else in the world can you cash in for having a criminal record? Nice to see the real side of one time Olympic hopeful Tanya Harding. What a pity. I cannot believe that Danny Bonaduce would show his face in public considering his prior record. To top it off, Amy Fisher is back. Cant we get rid of her already? she is still trying to hang on to her 15 min. of fame that she earned by sleeping with a married man while a teenager and then putting a bullet in the wife's head. Pretty sick. These people have no shame, no real self-respect. Is this what America wants? To see people,who attempted murder no less, host any type of a TV show. If that was you or me would we get a chance to do something like this if we had a record? Not without some claim to fame, no matter how it was acquired. Have thoughts on this? Post away! I want to know you opinion on this topic.

NJ Gas Crunch
With the price of gas climbing and the cost of living in NJ already high, people are doing what they can to save on gas. However it seems that there is no light at the end of the tunnel.
How has this affected you? What are you doing to help save on your gas consumption?
For instance, I plan all my trips and combine as many stops as possible. I hunt for the cheapest gas and try to carpool when I can (which aren't many opportunities in the state of NJ).
I definitely want to hear from you and welcome your postings. Perhaps what you do may help someone else. Feel free to leave the name and address of the stations where you find the best gas price. Lets blog a list of gas stations to check out and ones to avoid. If we blog loud enough, someone may take notice. Out of state? Check the postings so you know where to go and not. Dont forget to post your thought as well. You may have a tip that can help someone out.

Prisons
Why do prison systems have luxuries available to the inmates? Weight lifting equipment is not a life staple. (Stronger criminals are realy not desired to the outside world.) Nor is cable TV, internett, cigarettes and porn. Pursuing an education on the outside world was not free last time I checked. Scholarships must be earned. So why is it in some prisons these items are available? Our lottery funds are paying for this?!
I beleive once you commit a crime you loose the rights you once enjoyed on the outside. It is suposed to be hard time but it doesn't seem that way. What constitutes it as "hard time" is the way the inmates treat each other. Lets get rid of ALL the ammentities, have them do menial labor and have access to literature and educational books as a past time. Pursue a degree? Ok as long as you work it off. Divert the lottery money to school property taxes, provided that there is a sizeable reduction to the property tax payer. Too much to bear? Too bad. They shouldn't have done the crime.
