So what you're saying is, ...no chance in hell, or the USA.

No, I'm saying that they "could" if things were done with the idea of doing the best possible job, rather than the minimum allowable by law. "Commodore Joe Redcloud" wrote in message . ..

For what it costs to keep someone in a federal prison, you could send them to Harvard for the same period of time. When they get out of Harvard, they could find a job that pays a lot more than being a punk crook or low level drug dealer. So what you're saying is that if you wish to attend Harvard, don't waste time studying your ass off, achieving excellent grades and accumulating academic awards? Rather just break into a store and steal something? Max You are apparently on an intellectual par with Sloco. I never suggested sending convicted criminals to Harvard. I merely pointed out that a very high quality education was less expensive than keeping someone in prison. The problem in the US is that people think providing a good education is too expensive and raises their taxes. My feeling is that if we gave kids the absolutely best education possible, rather than the half-hearted system we have now, there would be fewer candidates for prison, and our net cost would be lower. Prevent the problem up front, instead of trying to patch it afterwards. Commodore Joe Redcloud Commodore Joe Redcloud |
