I do see longterm, especially lifetime, solitary confinement as torture. And the psychological literature on the effects of sensory deprivation and isolation back up my viewpoint. Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this. That's why I support the Pickens Plan.
