I was made aware of a glaring example of how legislators effect the daily lives of citizens as I read this story today. It is a situation where lawmakers in Georgia had the opportunity to make a real difference in one young man's life by passing effective, fair and realistic legislation. Instead, the legislation was too quickly conceived and passed, leaving the man for whom it was intended out in the cold. Read the article and tell us what you think.

I think that the fact that the a white person, man or woman, gets a lesser sentence for the same crime as a black person shows the apriciousness of our laws. People should be punnished for the crime commited based on the crime and nothing else, not gender, not religion, and certainly not the color of their skin.
