You know me. I am typically your random topics blogger. Hints the “Were Jumin'” – random thoughts throughout the day.
I have been thinking about some things today.
What I don’t understand in our “government” is a woman getting charged for 1.5 million bucks (24 songs) for downloading illegal music (as seen here), but someone who can murder someone gets 10-20 years in jail, how is that possible? I don’t understand our government and probably never will. My thoughts is, if you kill someone, than your life should be done too. You took someone from the world, so you should live your life in jail or death penalty.
We slap people on the hand for murdering, but fine people millions of dollars for songs? How is that logic? Or even a man molesting a 6 week old baby, his own child, broke her limb, fractured her brain, and raped her and he gets 25 years in jail… (sighs) how is this right? Why is it our government cares about the little stuff instead of the big things? You can never get your child back if someone kills them, but yet they can continue live their life when they get out of jail? Someone who downloads music gets sued for 1.5 million dollars, but yet she didnt kill anyone? I just dont understand. She will never be able to pay the 1.5 million, she probably brings home the “below average income”.
Sorry to be all over the place, but I dont see how our government is right, nothing seems right, but yet people think we have the best of the best. when really we have people without jobs, people without a lot of things, homeless on the streets, but yet we have enough food in this country to feed the world. You have the government giving money to build “new” government buildings, but yet we have people who can’t even afford food on the table, or a job to even apply for.
Just my random thoughts of the day.

I do like The IT Crowd’s take on this issue:

/ June 9, 20111.5 million dollars is a thing. It’s money. You apply for bankruptcy, you bounce back. You can’t put a price on 25 years of your life. (Though I agree that those bastards should be put in jail for the rest of their lives as well).
