Since Gov. Jerry Brown assumed office, a record number of inmates with life sentences are winning parole.
Pretty soon the only people who’ll be left behind bars are folks who didn’t separate their recyclables.

Boy… you want an issue that torques me off…
I intentionally refuse to recycle. My stance on the subject is: if you care about recycling, then it’s on you to recycle. Unless you’re paying me for it (and no, a tax credit doesn’t count) and I choose to accept the work, it’s not my job to do something you care about and I don’t. If someone has a problem with my garbage – hey, it’s in the dumpster. Go for it. Recycle your bleeding heart out (fyi, I purposefully smash the glass bottles). Same goes for the length of my shower, the power of my toilet, how high I want to run my AC, what kind of light bulb I want to use, or my decision to pave over a piece of land I own that happens to have a swamp or an endangered stink gecko on it.
It’s BS anyway. Only recycling that makes any kind of difference is aluminum. Environmentalism is a f*cking cult, and nothing pisses me off more than being forced to be a part of it.
I burn a block of styrofoam every Earth Day. Why? Because screw the environmentalists.
Sounds like AT needs a session in room 101.
Why don’t they have Earth Day in the middle of winter and turn off their heat to save energy?
They like what coal-fired electricity provides?
So do I.
… Consensus.
You joke, zzyzx, but it increasingly seems we’re headed that way. It’s not as bad on environmentalism yet, but man, if you believe that a marriage is a man and a woman, you might have to be referred for “therapy”. Once people are sufficiently numbed to leftist tyranny, they’ll give up all pretense and start calling it re-education.
The recycling cult bugs me (I used to celebrate Earth Day by cutting down a tree), but parole board decisions make me froth at the mouth. Life should mean life. I think parole boards should be required to live in special communities and that every offender they parole should live in those communities with them. It might make them more careful; failing that, it would make it more likely they would live and/or die with the results of their decisions.
