[QUOTE="LWW, post: 176392, member: 546831"] Interesting bit of revisionist posting? I assume you meant deluded? But since we disagree... OOOOPS...the M word again. Wow I've lived my life for 46 years and have no clue as to how I got to where I am or where I was where I have been. I must be a moron...of course you being a Saavant can tell me all about it without ever being there. But then I can spell deluded. HMMMM... OOOPS!!! Let's see...I've been thinking...so maybe I'm not a moron? This thread isn't about society it's about prison reform. The person who shit on me to cause my problem was...ME, so yes it was my fault. Did I have the best natural advantage from birth? No but I didn't have the worst either. I made decisions that made it worse. Then I made decisions which made it better. This I believe. First of your lack of knowledge is showing again. Reserve duty is a weekend warrior status. 1 weekend a month plus 2 weeks a year. It does not get you GI Bill bennies. I was willing to put my life on the line because I believe in the ideals on which our nation was founded. The shitbags are those who believe that since the system lacks perfection is is a waste. If you had seen any of the rest of the world you would realize this. Long enough to know that I didn't want to return. 6 mths to be exact. About the time the avg drug offender spends in a modern prison. We were all cellmates as it was 1 big room. Survival was the exercise. There was no TV. The bathroom was a trough and a hole. Showers were weekly. Breakfast was 1 egg, coffee, toast. Lunch water and a bologna sandwich as was dinner. No I wasn't ***** but it was tried. Fighting was a way of life. Not that any of this is any of your business but please don't come here and pontifficate as if you know the difference between 1 penal institution and another. Now again you speak as though you know something when you don't. A pardon is what you get from a Governor or President. An expungement is issued by a judge. It means that your record is available only to the criminal court system in case you backslide. It requires years of crime free living and testimony by respected members of society that know you and your behavior. In my case that was 2 business owners, 2 military officers, the sherrif and local police chief. Easy to do? No, and it shouldn't be. Again not that this is your business but my major was history and finance. I have the hrs for a degree in both but am fulfilling the BS course as i go. As I said I have WORKED my way through and time is an asset which I have too little of. I have worked my way to being finance director of a multi million dollar corporation. It has NOT been easy.
