unlimited travel

Unlimited Travel
Unlimited Travel. If I could go any where I wanted, where would I go. Would I go to some far off destination or say a little closer. Would I go to a place I have never ever been before or to a tried and trusted place or my favorite trip that I would want to revisit. All in all, after all of the places I would go, if I could go any where, I would go to the far off land of Alaska.
I have been there once before and I fell in love. I went there on a cruise about five years ago, or so. I remember that it was one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. I also remember saying that I wanted to come back soon after I left.
Why would I want to go only to Alaska? Because it has everything I ever wanted. You can be yourself out there. Way out there its only you and the pristine, untouched wilderness. You have no one to tell you what to do and you can live your life the way you want to. One great example of this is a man in the late ‘60s set off and made himself his own little cabin where the only way in was by air.
Would I leave? Most likely not. Why not, because it has everything, or nothing for that matter. To me, it embraces the American spirit. How so, by making you be yourself and doing things on your own. Most people would freak out being so alone and away from the modern world, but I am fed up with it all. I can not stand all of the fake people and fakeness of the modern world. In Alaska, only the real survive. You have to look down into your character and see what you are made of, and I think and know I can do it. I want to live in Alaska.
For work, I could do what I have always wanted to. A simple, hard working blue collar job. In Alaska, that’s basically it. You have almost no big businessmen or pencil pushers, all you have is real men doing real work.
Most people probably think I am nuts. I can not think of many people who could live a day without face book or their cell phone. I could though. I do not need those things although I use them regularly. In the part of Alaska I want to live, you have no cell phones or computers. All you have is what you really need.
But that’s just me

Punishment

Punishment
I personally think that people should be punished justly for their crimes. I am a fan of prisons, in the sense for housing criminals. But what I do find wrong is many loop holes that appear I the modern day U.S. “legal” system.
By “legal”, and “the holes“, I mean the stupid things that one can get away with in the courts that defend our country. For starters, I have always found the numerous thing that a person can be sued for. It seems that no one is capably of taking responsibly for their own actions. Such court cases such as a business owner being sued for not completely removing the snow from his or her walk way. I mean yes they should remove it to the best of their ability if they are open. But in another sense you have to use your head not just for a hat rack, yes snow and ice is slippery and no, a business owner can not always be out there with a shovel to clear the way for you. Now what kind of justice are you looking for there?
Then holes are another subject. Such holes would be like a murder getting off scott-free on a technically, or the fact you can admit to killing someone and get a “deal” and only have to spend a few years in jail, then get out on “good behavior”.
I think people should be justly punished for their crimes. I am not saying that we should follow the whole eye for an eye thing, but instead just use some common sense.
My take on prisons is one of a sense of failure. I see the good, it houses the bad. But I also see the flaws. The fact that it takes millions of tax dollars to run them only to have moat of the inmate that do get released only to come back. I think that prisons should not be what they are now. They should be harder. People say that the reason industry left America was the shortage of “cheep labor”. Well, the way I see it, prisons are full of free labor. I love the old prisons farms. Instead of just sitting around all day long, wasting time and money, one should have to work for his or her freedom.
Prisoners and punishment these days have seem to have lost its fear. Most everyone knows that they can get away with anything as long as they have enough money. Personally, I know that the would be much easier with out lawyers. I feel that if you are charged with a crime, it is your responsibility to prove your innocents, and not just pay a good debater with a flashy Italian suit to that.
But that’s just me.
