Pretty much anyone can be nominated for a NPP.

You just have to have a degree or office to make the nomination.


Iran and N. Korea routinely enforce the DP for speaking out against the government-trial on friday, dead on monday. For speaking out.
Run drugs in the Far East? Death.
Cheat on your hubby in the Mid East? Death.

While not the worst crimes on the planet I think getting a little something on the side, running smoke or speaking out against a rotten government should get you a little break.

Speak out against the US government? People point and laugh.
Cheat on your spouse? people point and laugh then you pay alimony!
Get caught with drugs? People point and laugh and you go to jail!
Kill someone, like an animal? People point and demand justice.

---------------------------------------------

Some of those countries have governments rooted far deeper into religion or having some bobo run the country...

You won't get a break, the time or a chance to prove you are innocent.
We gave the Tookster 26 years to worm his way outta the way and he could not do it.

---------------------------------------------
The Tookster raped other inmates, tossed caustic chemicals at the guards and was a real pain until his conversion.....

keeping him in jail was a waste of money, letting him out was a chance that no one wanted to take.....


I would have liked some of those protestors to "adopt a Tookie".

You know, take him home for a weekend, let him hang out with your kids, and the Tookster can read his books to them???
