Does "UN Peacekeeping Forces" mean protecting American and European business interests abroad from upset native citizens?<BR/><BR/><BR/>http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/tw/tw_925.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10465909.post-20181057917776298652007-03-07T05:37:00.000-06:002007-03-07T05:37:00.000-06:00interesting article, thanx!

This may explain why the Bankrupcy court has been put under Homeland Security.<BR/><BR/>I remember driving through Mississippi and watching the prison labor in the fields - black faces in white jump suits. Was told locally that when the crops were ready, arrests went up significantly.<BR/><BR/>The more things change . . .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10465909.post-82516439172813765392007-03-04T16:53:00.000-06:002007-03-04T16:53:00.000-06:00Hi Kate,No attempt to be sarcastically cute here.Hi Kate,<BR/><BR/>No attempt to be sarcastically cute here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10465909.post-69611553920503532632007-03-04T13:39:00.000-06:002007-03-04T13:39:00.000-06:00Americans will do ANYTHING so they don't have to p...Americans will do ANYTHING so they don't have to pay minimum wage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10465909.post-51504263170264414492007-03-04T10:44:00.000-06:002007-03-04T10:44:00.000-06:00The program is better known as a gulag – now gussi...The program is better known as a gulag – now gussied up to look like good ol' American judicial rehab. In a few years, when free farm labor is the norm – we can round up (arrest) as many "workers" as the big government subsidized farmers need, and hey the State can provide insurance for any work injuries, offenses, etc.<BR/><BR/>In an effort to be sarcastically cute you miss a bigger picture. These prisoners are minimal security inmates, i.e. guilty of lesser nonviolent crimes. At 60 cents a day I'm hard pressed to see the rehabilitation in this set-up. <BR/><BR/>If the geniuses of such programs wanted to pay $6-7/hr, whatever minimum wage is, and earmark most of the earnings for victim restitution and/or the inmate's obligations, i.e. child support, etc. it might be reasonable. But then farmers would probably say "yuk" to such expensive labor.Kate-Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02097300904370192818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10465909.post-80249604752384820222007-03-04T09:59:00.000-06:002007-03-04T09:59:00.000-06:00Just curious, what does a prisoner do in a prison ...Just curious, what does a prisoner do in a prison all day? Does this beat being inside in a prison with other inmates? <BR/>Ooops, I just had a thought - will they have to work outside in the cold under excruciating temperature conditions?
