IMPORTANT

I have been too busy with my lecture preparations even to reply adequately to the many interesting comments that have been posted recently, but I wanted to call your attention to this very important article, which details a strike now being conducted by as many as 24,000 inmates in many prisons.  The focus of the strike is the slave labor system that is a central part of the American "correctional" system.  I urge you to read it.  More is going on in America than just this interminable election campaign.
