on "the bare-foot bandit"

Colton's a spirited rebel and a very resourceful guy, who made the mostly corporate-censored news more interesting for a while. So I admire him. That doesn't mean I, or most of us, think he's a saint or that breaking into houses is a good idea. But his self-righteous critics aren't actually saints either- unless it's in a church of greed, prejudice, and violence. I've lived in Thailand and seen the sweat-shops that make the clothes for America and the Bahamas(and their honest investment bankers and what not.)

None of us are saints- and that's why we should stand by Colton. We'll get him pardoned, sooner or later, if we have to bankrupt a dozen corporations and politicians to do it.
