TASK DEFINITION: Categorize the comment on the basis of threat. If the comment is threatening output Yes, otherwise output No.
PROBLEM: I agree.  In this age of  computer data bases a person can no longer "start over" nor can we continue to view incarceration as the only option.    Also, I was intrigued by Coghill's statement that we are sending these young Alaskans to outside prisons where they become well educated in the criminal life style and bring those lessons back home.  My concern is that future legislatures cannot be bound to fund these programs that might reduce the  recidivism and we wind up worse off than we are now.

SOLUTION: No

PROBLEM: Did anyone get pulled over for DUI after this? You know not every MJ smoker is a wild eyed freak with not enough sense to get out of rain. I know many who do and are responsible. Do not put all smokers in with the ones who refuse to act responsible. We get punished by strangling laws just to keep irresponsible ones in check, and laws have done nothing to fix stupid people who refuse to behave with sense. They don't give a rat's ass about laws so everyone else is strangled to help the stupid irresponsible ones. Go figure.

SOLUTION: Yes

PROBLEM: So a stupid 18-year-old does something stupid.  No actual harm was done but this stupid kid will be labeled felon, put on a sex offender list, and condemned to sit on street corners for the rest of his life because he can't get past the background checks jobs require.

We are very wise, aren't we?

SOLUTION:
Yes
