That, to me, was really neat.<br /><br />Too often some nations go to the opposite extreme. It's telling that they tend to be considerably more affluent than Italy. Maybe it's the social darwinism that is the philosophical branch of neoliberalism at play. What follows that? For profit, privately operated prisons that transform an offender into a lucrative commodity. Sick? Sure, yet it's happening before our eyes.

The American version similar to this Italian story was the US congress recently cancelling millions of dollars of food stamps. The difference is the Italians realized the inhumanity involved in finding a hungry homeless man guilty of stealing food and set out to change verdict. The American congress who voted to bail out Wall street banks with tax payers money, including those on food stamps, to the tune of 1.2 trillion has no problem punishing the real crooks, those on food stamps.
