This is why Angry can't keep un-angry for long. Check this out.I'm listening on WBAI to a fellow who's been sentenced to 20 days a month for the next six months or so, in a NJ jail for simple pot possession. He has been an activist and antagonist, but he's also a person with bone cancer who has California-approved status as a medical marijuana user. He's had to give up his LA apartment, and pay for the plane trips back and forth between his home, and his stints of periodic incarceration. Life's kinda problematic to say the least.
Meanwhile, this other renegade, a kid named Couch, who killed 4 persons with his drunken truck-driving, permanently disabling two of his own friends/passengers, just got sentenced to 10 years of probation. No jail time for these indiscretions. Know why? Because he is an "affluenza" sufferer. Never heard of it? Probably not rich enough. Or a big enough hypocrite. "Affluenza" has been coined to provide the newest refuge and cover for the privileged. It's defined as... well, YOU look it up. I'm getting sick thinking about it further. #Affluenza. Sheesh.
