This is not America.

I believe that Pat Matheny and David Bowie might be looking at Florida and seeing exactly what they wrote a song about together.
Good fucking god. Warning: behind link is an obscenity. It has nothing to do with nudity, profanity, though one could perhaps comment that murder was involved.

I'm stunned. Truly stunned. Between this and the elections, I'm wondering: can we just GIVE Florida TO FUCKING CUBA, or something?

PLEASE?

  What's sad is I saw a Law and Order about something like this last week. Scary.
  
  And people wonder why the prison systems need work.

  Unfortunately not all that unusual for Florida. I live about 45 minutes' drive from Miami. I could tell stories, but ... not much point, neh?

  Southern Florida is a cesspit and a hive of malgnancy and despair.
  
  But apparently northern Florida is kind of nice.

    This story pisses me off bigtime, because atrocities like it happen often and not just in Florida. And it also made me wonder at the amount of pathos generated by the prison guards' reports. Granted, I don't subscribe to Prison Guard Confession Weekly, but it was interesting to see such compassionate reactions from such stereotypically unlikely sources. It can't help this kid now, but perhaps the combination of their enraged attitudes, all this bad press and the investigation can help the next kid...

    Depends upon one's definition of "nice" -- Key West is ab-fabulous! (Sorry, the "Conch Republic" -- not really a part of the U.S. since they sededed. *grin*)
