Prisoners and the right to vote

[faceless]

I don't see what the problem is at all - this prick talking about how prisoners have 'broken their contract with society' is pathetic - if there were a contract with society, then the government must guarantee certain things too, but it doesn't. It helps on its terms, not on some basis of equality between legal entities. The government doesn't *own* the person - and the minute people think it does is the minute the public may as well just admit they're utterly without individual value or quality.

This entire argument is based on the pathetic cries of reactionary arseholes. They exist purely on hatred of something or other - today it's prisoners, tomorrow it's Muslims, at the weekend it will be Gypsies, ad bastard nauseum.
