Even Super Heroes Get The Blues...
I reckon a lot of young folk catch them Saturday morning cartoons or the matinees on TNT or TBS where the Super Hero takes down the Scum of the Earth. C'mon admit it! Even today as a not so young youngster I like to watch.
This morn Batman took care of that rascally Riddler. It was fun ...but I got to thinking - how many times does Batman and Robin have to lock horns with that vermin? Even in the cartoons...the action hero movies - the bad guy always seems to do their dastardly deeds - get caught - do a lil time - then get back out to start some new criminal enterprise.
Kinda takes you down a step or so. Heck, how many times do the law enforcement folk have to go out after the fool they took off the streets just months before? I'm not barkin' for life sentences for them minor things - I'm talkin' murderers, robbers, rapists, pedophiles, arsonists, drug smugglers / manufacturers, gun runners / toters...is that list long enough? Kinda knocks the wind out of your sails to work on a case to take down shoe scum, put'em in and then see'em out because they were "good, model prisoners" or their mouthpiece argues that "they still have something to offer society" (YEAH HEARTACHES AND HEADACHES!).
I get tired of that "y'know we gotta spend more on rehabilatation" stuff always passed out...like society has to teach folk how to do their dastardly deeds better...aw shucks I rant.
Dagnabit.
Stankass out...
