Real actions should have real consequences...

...suppose instead of horseshit "punishments" politicians face now,there was TRUE justice??? Do something criminal in a school district of 15,000 that calls for a year in prison and surprise!!! You're facing 15,000 years in prison-I'm bettin' your not happy that with time off for "good time" you could be out in 10,000 years-less with time served...Now if you run for a state government and are indicted for some malfeasense, what, several million years plus???Then, Big Casino,national office and ANY chargable crime means X 250 million??? Does this sound Draconian???Figure it out-at the full national level of importance less than 600 people are given a national trust.If you wish to be one of 600 running a quarter billion people,should we not raise the bar???

1. The problem with that is that the Evil Bush is in charge and those

600 are his handpicked thugs. He sets the punishments for the crimes and does not apply them to those whom have sworn their fealty to him. Why should he, he would be in prison for 10 billion years based on the theory you give. Bush and his private army are taking steps to prevent any sort of criticism as they move to dominate us and control our actions and our lives.
