It seems very strange being on the other side of a political debate with you. Clearly, we disagree on this issue and probably immigration.Originally Posted by Cal&Ken
What I disagree with you about is the use of the word, "allowed." He should be "allowed" to pursue anything that is not against his parole terms. If you do not "allow" him equal opportunity to get an education and pursue his goals, you are pushing him in a direction no one in society wants him to go.
To paraphrase Victor Hugo, as long as good people like you have such a legalistic ( as depicted in the role of Javert) view of x-cons, books like Les Miserables will be relevant.
