...we took the audio tour of Alcatraz today, and what struck me the most was how much like a real prison it was. I know, stupid of me to be surprised by that, but I think we've changed so much over the past thirty or fourty years since it closed that we've forgotten what "tough love" is all about-if you screw up in life, God is gracious, but society usually wasn't until more recently. Sometimes I think we need a little more justice, punishment, and reality than we're getting these days....not that I'd want to serve any time at Alcatraz.
