Just a short quote today:
"Labels are always limitation. The reason we label people according to their ideologies, the reason we label people according to their race, or even their social economic background, is because if we can put a label on them, we don't have to do the hard work of discovering what they are really about." -Steven Furtick
Perhaps we are so eager to label these ex-offenders so we don't have to do the hard work of actually figuring out whether they are dangerous, or whether they made a solitary mistake, or whether they were mentally ill, or really WHO they are at all. It is certainly easier to slap a label on them and then feel justified in treating them badly, after all, all we can see of them is their label...
More to come…
