We oh so agree on this.

[adcott]

Holy shit, we're agreeing again... though I do have to ask why you've tagged Ayn Rand? She would have surely objected to corporate bailouts as much as anyone.

[moropus]

I'm with you.

That's what happens when you decide that justice is not blind, that poor people in particular have to be singled out for extra punishment. Over here they plan to evict people convicted with offenses in connection with the August Riots (ie not neccesarily actual rioters)... but only if they live in "social housing". They don't evict or jail politicians or bankers who steal, only poor people... the modern cagots.

I wonder if her kids are also getting free room and board in foster care, courtesy of this judges tremendously well thought out decision?

Yep, I agree with you. The hypocrisy is out of control on many levels.
