day 2 - at the head

had the privaledge to visit William Head Institution today. what a beautiful place, to visit that is. its interesting that such a beautiful place - people are treated better than humanely, people are allowed to pursue meaningful work or study and better themselves, yet its still prison no matter how you slice it.

me and the pretty lady often talk about the non-difference between jail and the navy: you are confined to an area, you are deprived of companionship, your daily life is regimented and controlled by other people, and you dont feel you own your time. in the navy you get shore leave in prison you get day parole. The difference seems to be that in the army you get paid and they can kill you. kinda wierd.

maybe jail is a thing of the mind, would it be jail if you just left someone in a community but made them wear a jumpsuit?

why do we do that controlling movements thing anyways? it seems that the norm is to treat a prisioner like a child. isnt the reason we put them in there because they havent learned to behave like responsible adults?

another point which i would be negligent to leave out, listening right now to a cbc radio program (ideas) on the fetishism of indian stuff in germany, man that is wierd. I guess im not one to talk dating a beatiful frau named cheyenne. in germany its like a totally sexy thing, i dont think they have a clue what aborigional culture is like here. the culture here seems to be one of healing and support, not about how luck you are to get to do the dances. pretty F ' ed if you ask me.

ok then, gnite internets
peas out
