So who's all going to the commitment ceremony? Isn't that Labor day weekend?

Someone just repped me and asked me a question at the same time. I can't answer since they didn't sign it. Hey, I can't read minds people.

Heartbreaking. Hopefully, the dog will not starve itself to death. My father-in-law's cat did that after he died. When the paramedics came to the house to take him to the hospital after the stroke, she left the house and refused to come back in. She would not eat the food left out for her. We kept bringing her into the house and trying to force feed her. She got out and we didn't see her for months and months. She came back to the house to die.

Too sad!

It's the end of the world...an earthquake and a hurricane...all in the same week!

Isn't it nice knowing there are no real major natural disasters here? I mean, yes there are fault lines, but they are nowhere NEAR as active as CA.

As far as crying over lost LEO jobs, it is apparent that you are simply anti-police which is all well and good. The problem lies in the fact that as soon as YOU need them you would surely be crying about how they were not there soon enough or able to do enough for you. Typical. Would you advocate the release of 50% of NV's current inmate population? Would you be willing to have convicted felons that should be behind heavy steel doors living in your neighborhood? You obviously also have no idea how state funding, vs. federal borrowing works. I can assure you that federal grants do not fund state prisons. Don't let facts get in the way of your emotional argument though.

Sincerely,

A Correctional Officer who happens to be for the legalization of drugs (and a small government conservative)

I know how one aspect of how prisons work, there's a thread on the True Crime forum entitled: How are drugs accessed in jail/prisons w/all the security measures? Check it out, and if you disagree with the consensus, feel free to argue.

Underpaid, overworked, zero union protection. That's me and millions of other workers in this country today!

I, perhaps, overlooked the wage structure of prison guards (I refuse to use that word correctional officers until the recidivism rate decreases in this country and they come out corrected) in Nevada, knowing full well the eye-popping wages of prison guards in CA! $54k a year for senior guards?????

Too many times, when you need the police, they're not there anyway! And if I were robbed or assaulted walking in my neighborhood some night, and they do catch the suspect, small comfort to know this person will land himself in prison and the taxpayers get robbed/assaulted for the costs of years of incarceration.

It's well known the percentage of our inmates in our state prisons, nationwide, in there for drug related charges, 25% minimum. Let them go! Let them go! Let those prison guards who were guarding over those inmates, find some other employment.

You advocate legalization of drugs. That's where we're alike, we're both willing to cut our own throats!

I work in a LTC facility, with vested interests, job dependency, and you don't dare air your views in one of these facilities about Right to Die laws or euthanasia. Paricularly, when panic sets in when there's 3 or 4 empty beds in the facility, and if there's 5 or more empty beds, some aide goes home that day without getting paid, unless they use their vacation time.

I've long been a proponent of a national Right to Die law (and euthanasia as well), and if we could ever bypass all the vested interests some day, I could likely be out of a job!

Our humanity is slowly slipping away and the only answer at the moment seems to be medication.

I have nothing but compassion for the youth of today. To many, it's an exercise in futility to try and change things politically, when they're vastly outnumbered, at the voting booths, by the baby boom generation. No surprise, it's the elderly that turn out in groves for elections.

When legalization of marijuana didn't pass, not too long ago, in CA, who were the main culprits?

If I were amongst the youth of today, facing retirement at 70 (and it's likely it'll go up from there) burdened down with student loans, still living with the parents in their 20's, with bleak job prospects, I'd find a way to get stoned everyday and self-destruct as painlessly as possible!
