The Children's Jail - Lileks,

The Children's Jail - Lileks, on what the Children's Prison really means:

The end result of a fascist regime is always this: a man who seeks advancement by proposing a children’s jail; a smarter man who sees the political advantage of building one; the men who lock the doors and make the gruel with dead empty hearts, and the man who worries what will happen to him if the jail is found wanting.

The children, of course, don’t matter at all. In fact they matter least of all, and after a while their jailers come to hate them for what they make the jailers do.

A daisy chain of snakes biting their tales. Look up at the portrait hanging on the wall. Ask yourself what he wants. Bite harder.

So - does the left think Cuba is any better? North Korea?

So who is this they want to co-exist "peacefully" with?

I still don't recall Hals Blix looking for the children..
