:The central problem with debtor’s prison is that it gives the creditor no second chance to pay back his obligation. He cannot, because he is not making any money at all. For example, if a workman with debts to pay is laid off, and he cannot find a job quickly enough, off he goes to debtor’s prison, where he makes no money at all.  (Duncan B.)

:Issue: When those in the Constitutional Convention decided the Article of Confederation was faulty and that a new government needed to be formed, the public was not informed.  Answer: In my humble opinion, this was a stroke of genius.  No paparazzi putting their opinion in the headlines, no political peer pressure, only thos representing the people of the U.S.A. doing their best to run the government. ...  Of course, the public and We the People would be informed of what the conclusion of said governmental powwow, to say whether or not it was agreeable. ...  (Cole N.)
