ARE EVIL CEOS NEXT?

Cynthia "McKinney" Tucker rails against long prison sentences for 
nonviolent offenders. Seeing what drugs have done to American families, 
especially blacks, I would think she would like to get them off the 
streets, regardless of color, religious beliefs, you name it.

I suppose she would also advocate that embezzlers also not be imprisoned, 
since no one was "raped, murdered or maimed." And the Enron executives and 
their ilk, along with shady stockbrokers, why should they face prison time, 
since there were no physical crimes committed? Before long, the taxpayers' 
prison bills would be next to nothing.
