... that the United Sates accounts for only 5% of the world's population.... but also for 25% of the world's reported prisoners. I can't be the only person alarmed by this statistic. Why is our nation home to a full quarter of those incarcerated?! There is no reason why we should have more prisoners than we have people in the world. The government needs to sit back and re-evaluate the criminal justice system that they take such pride in. So much money is spent sending people to jail, yet we struggle trying to pay for a higher education, one you need in order for society to give two shits about you .
Where do the nation's priorities lie??
They'd rather allow rapists to run free while minorities with minor drug offenses occupy the majority of our jails. They'd rather destroy another country than build up our own. They'd rather lock "problems" up in a box for a while instead of fix it.
Big damn help that does us.

LeBron James made a choice that he thought was best for him. I can find plenty of reasons why he should've stayed in Cleveland, but I can find just as many reason to justify his move to Miami. No one wants to go their hardest and not be rewarded. Yes, it would have been monumental if he had toughed it out and eventually got a ring with the Cavs, but who's to say it would happen? It's crazy how the same people that are bashing LeBron's decision are the same ones that bash him for not having a ring yet. Let the man live. I didn't want him to go to Miami either, but I am anxious to see what he will do teamed up with Bosh and Wade. Having that opportunity presented to him, I'm sure he would have regretted turning it down. Point is, I'm a fan of LeBron regardless of where he goes, as long as he's playing the game and beasting the way he does. Real fans don't switch up on a players when they switch teams. So "fans", be fans.
