Blog Entry #2 The New Prospect on Life

          The life that has been laid out for us as homo-sapiens. I feel that the society we live in should be more of an eye for an eye society. The criminals and thieves that are caught and prosecuted to have life or near life in jail is a ludicrous idea. As I see it, if you do something wrong you should have to get the same done to you or something equally horrible. The reason for my topic this week is I watched on the news and heard another school shooting has happened. I looked up all the school shootings in the last forty years and every state has had at least one school shooting and about 90% were either former or current students trying to get back at the teachers or professors for bad grades. As I see it, no one should ever be mad at a teacher or professor for bad grades, for it is the students fault for getting the bad grades. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_the_United_States I can not believe that we give our inmates more luxuries then we give our elderly. All of the ones that were caught are sentenced to jail there are very few that were sentenced to death, which proves the point that our justice system is becoming to lenient on criminals that kill then on white collar crimes who did not physically hurt or kill anyone. I am just wondering how long until Americans can feel safe and go outside of our comfort zones like the rest of the world? In the Hofstede model it shows that Americans are les likely to change their ways as it is now and they are also more scared of the uncertainty in the future. In society, we all want to say what I am about to, the killers should be killed by the families, the rapist should be castrated, and the thieves should be sent back into the world with everything gone. I think that we as a society should step up and say we are tired of being scared; even though, we have the strongest military our home front is more unsafe then 75% of the world.
               In conclusion, I was military and that has never influenced my view I have thought this way since I was a child watching the columbine shooting on television, or watching a CEO get away with stealing millions or billions or dollars while working class get the brunt end of the stick. I would like some true justice and I do understand that money does make the U.S. work it does not help the lower class it just makes it harder. As always I do apologize if anyone was offended, but I am not sorry for what I have written. I do believe in honesty and as I read and hear all of these horrible situations going on in the world it makes me just want to become a vigilante, but in that case I would then become the bad guy so win or lose, wait it is all lose situation until someone looks closer at our "Liberties." Thank you for reading my blog
