Thanks for the correction, kjfitz, since this story is about corrections anyway I struck out the offending words.

From the National Prison Hospice Association:

“Last year, nearly three times as many inmates died at Angola as made parole, a figure that also held true for the two previous years a first in the history of Louisiana.”

You should fix your final statement that there is no Parole in Louisiana. It is incorrect. There is parole in both Louisiana and Angola Prison.

“The picture of big bad aquaculture that is really a mound of dredged mud that will be a new wildlife sanctuary, the leaking oil tanker that is really just muck from tug boat prop wash.”

This is not correct.

“You decry the arguement of the corporations that “the ends justify the means” but you are not innocent of this yourself.”

This is just wrong. It’s obvious from your comment that you haven’t read any of the articles on this web site. You’ve fabricated an argument for me, but it’s one I never made.

My means are a website that I put up for people to read for free, write in my spare time, and don’t get paid for.

Corporate means are unlimited and make tremendous profits that are mostly secreted offshore to avoid paying taxes. Corporations serve as private tyrannies, with a structure based on the Prussian Army. They have used tremendous amounts of money stolen from citizens to rewrite the laws and grant themselves rights that far exceed the rights of human beings. Their “ends” are just growth, growth, growth, at any cost, people be damned– much like a tumor.

Now if those two things look the same to you, then you are not really paying attention.

Thanks for looking at the pictures on Sprol!

Look, you have some valid issues in your articles. But you hurt your credibility and the credibility of everyone trying to do things about these issues when you exagerate. The picture of big bad aquaculture that is really a mound of dredged mud that will be a new wildlife sanctuary, the leaking oil tanker that is really just muck from tug boat prop wash. I agree that the ISSUES that you discuss are real and important but when you make provably false statements then you throw all of your other statements and arguements in doubt. You decry the arguement of the corporations that “the ends justify the means” but you are not innocent of this yourself. False statements are not justified just because they are made fighting what you preceive is wrong.
