Crime and Punishment

Here is a really interesting article on the US prison system. My question is how do these conclusions relate to banking and the financial colapse: can we modify the behavior of lawyers and financiers with the same tools we use to modify the behavior of potential blue-collar criminals?

On the agenda for the day:

On another note, assuming this whole apocalypse thing doesn´t work out (Fingers crossed, but not holding my breath) here is a little idea from some of the good guys:

Speaking of apocalyse, I just read a great book called The World Without Us, or something like that, and it is a good read on what is gonna happen if and when we all go the way of the dodo. I´ll ruin the ending by saying this: even if we all die, Dr. Strangelove wins, we have a ¨doomsday device¨ in the form of nuclear powerplants which need people to not just blow the fuck up. So there goes everything along with us.
