FAULTY SYSTEMS "…one out of every four African-Americans in Kentucky isn't allowed to vote…This startling statistic from the Kentucky League of Women means a fourth of African-Americans in the state of Kentucky will never be able to vote because of their status as convicted felons. 'It makes no sense because it defeats the purpose of our corrections system, which is to re-habilitate those who have committed crimes,' said Governor Steve Beshear." Equally as startling is that a quarter of the African Americans in Kentucky are convicted felons.

Kentucky topography is beautiful. I was just asking a group of pro-gun ownership students if they felt any gun restrictions should be in place.

No one said age (!), but they did say no convicted felons should own guns. I then asked whether we as America have decided to officially abandon the notion the criminals are rehabilitated rather than merely punished.

whistles, then dismissal bell.
