As you hit the highway this holiday weekend and fill your tank with the most expensive gas that's ever been sold, take a moment to think about liberty and justice for all, an ideal on which this nation was formed.
The United States has per capita the most people in prisons of any country in the world. For every 100,000 people, 715 are incarcerated. It seems that a lot of people lose their freedom to keep this place "the land of the free."
We are slipping as a nation, not just economically. Democracy is a precious thing.
We've unfortunately been trampling it for some time.
