Once convicted of a crime, the individual finds life harder while trying to get a job and explain for these past crimes over and over. Furthermore, the cost to our society to keep these individuals in prison is enormous. As an alternative, we should pursue high financial disincentives to criminal acts. We can fund the criminal system with revenue from tickets, fines, and other financial punishments. We can hold parents responsible for children under the age of 12 or 15 or 18 (take your pick). A lot of crime is the result of lazy or lousy parenting. Not all is but much of it is because of the parents. We need to get God back into the schools. All this crime went up since we tried to separate God from children. If we get rid of the only good influence in a child’s life, then we allow Satan an opportunity to "fill the void" so to speak. Parents have a unique responsibility to raise up good children and not just have a bunch of babies like the woman with 8 new babies for a total of 14.

I know the Chamber of Commerce, the driver for the Center for Michigan, wants business to rule. But since education became Chamber of Commerce driven, learning has gone down and expenses have gone up. Privitization is a bad idea.
