Bernie Madoff...put a gun to my head and I couldn't explain to you what he did...but whatever it was, he apparently screwed a butt load of people out of a butt load of money. So, if I was Miss Cleo (whatever happened to her by the way?) I would predict prison time would be in his future. So, I see this article on MSN (cheap plug, please pay me) that he pleads guilty and could face up to 150 years in jail. I'm sure there is a reason why they do this that I'm just too uneducated to realize, but why do they hand out these ridiculously long sentences that obviously nobody could carry out? I mean sure, if this was biblical times and you lived as long as Moses I could see 150 years just being a sizable chunk of your life...but come on...who really lives past 80 anymore? What's the point? Why not just say life sentence...for as long as you're living you are in jail. And what about people who get double life sentences? What does that even mean? If you die and are reincarnated your next life is ALSO sentenced to life in prison? You know who are the people that REALLY stay in jail for a long time? Death row inmates. How many times have you heard "...who has been on Death Row for 20 years..." How hard is it to kill these people? Shouldn't it take like an hour tops? I could probably wipe them all out in a day if I was focused and had nothing to distract me. Why don't they just line everybody up and get a firing squad? How hard would that be? I realize it's kind of Nazi-ish, but really, it is pretty efficient. Gotta at least give them credit for that. I mean they always talk about over-crowded jails...well that's because you keep these people who are sentenced to die around for so dang long. Stop hoarding death row inmates and start spring cleaning them out.
Just let me make the laws. Let me be in charge and I'll fix everything. I'll watch the Watchmen. Speaking of which...go watch the Watchmen....the movie...because it's awesome...and it's Watchmen...in IMAX...which makes it more awesome. Fin.

I think the really long sentences are so they never get out due to good behavior when the crimes dont technically warrant the "...without the possibility of parole(sp?)". Its a loop hole to keep them in jail. Also im sure he had multiple charges, so if each charge was 25 years and there were 6 charges, them there ya go. When you moving btw? Or did that already happen? Let me know if you need help with anything.
