Thoughts & Commentary on the Obama Administration

[Hosakawa Tito]

That's a good article. Prison reform is definitely coming to my State, New York. However, it's more of a budget issue than any sense of leadership. The "Rockefeller Drug Laws" are to be repealed and a more viable alternative for some offenders will be enacted, but nobody really has said what that is. A program that I've been working in for years, Shock Incarceration , is one such alternative.

Yes, and that's exactly the point the author was making--when a politician is willing to stake his career on an issue, people will take notice and minds can be changed. That's what being a leader is all about.

Another good reason for term limits. Take the worry out of getting re-elected and maybe some politicians can find the will to do the right thing.
