We must all endeavor to stop OURSELVES from getting emotional every time we see, read, or hear about something that we are passionate about.  It is up to each individual in the world to stop, yes stop, and start to listen to the other view point.

We are constantly labeling each other and being obnoxious just because our emotions send us in that direction.  But it is long since time when man and woman started to step back, count to 1,000 and begin to listen to the other side.

Once we start to do that and start gaining some sort of moral advantage over ourselves, we could reduce conflict to nothing.  Consider if Rome didn't want to take over the world and that the Roman Senate listened to the people being conquered.  What a better world we could have.

The same problems and the same solutions exist today but people refuse to learn from history.  They simply label someone a criminal, throw him into a hole and forever deem him to a life of crime.  It is no wonder that poor people with no prospects for a future will almost always commit crime after crime just to survive in a world that labeled them "criminal conviction" holders.  We must develop a plan to encourage people to erase their "convictions" and make something out of themselves.

Otherwise we are doomed to ensuring that minority groups and even poor whites will remain criminals forever.  

No one cares except that this concept would work.  It would be better to whip a man for a crime than to label him a "CONVICT" for his entire life.  He has no where to go except down.

Unless of course, men and women use their heads and free the low level convicted of their labels for "ALL" purposes.  Let them be cops, lawyers, firefighters or anything so they can at least forge a way forward!!!!
