It is such a political issue, that common sense seems to go by the wayside. Frustrating. https://nowcomment.com/documents/254012?scroll_to=2321576 https://nowcomment.com/documents/254012?scroll_to=2321576 Wed, 17 Nov 2021 12:30:48 -0500 Incarceration and rehabilitation should go hand in hand, and they currently don't.

Then the wait begins, and I was thinking the whole time, my son does this every day in the ER. How does he do it?
