These should be mileposts for us all. Or roadmaps. Or guideposts. You know what I'm saying, dog.
I am pleased to see that SOMEONE in government actually addresses personal responsibility. Amazing, and thrilling, that someone has the guts to look at a convict and say "It just might be YOUR fault and not "society". Thank goodness I am not an ex-con becasue I enjoy several of these behaviours and would hate to give them up....good reasons to not be a convict in my book hahahaha I wonder how long it will take someone to sue because some of these are construed to be racially motivated, not respectful of someone's "culture" or "demeaning" becasue they are "code" language against som agrieved group or person.
They forgot "Don't be a douchebag," which would also make Dale's list of currently enjoyed behaviors.
