| Topic | civil rights |
| Content | without going into a lot a details this is a very simple concept. there is a reason we do not hear about civil rights or civil liberty issues in oklahoma. we don't have any.
take a look at the recent problems with dhs. needs no further explanation. we treat each other horribly and that comes from a historical fact. we stole land that was stolen from indians and are proud to be a 'sooner'. frightning!!!!
regarless of those protections we currently offer by law in a minimal list (race, creed, etc.) we are still intolerant of those that do not meet our myopic standards. no matter what other liberties our government may secure we are still not equal to enjoy them.
we maintain a maximum security federal jail facility in downtown oklahoma city. violations such as traffic infractions are handled in a way that demeans human dignity.
these practices also follow to our state labor laws where 'at will' abuses occur daily. no one will come to oklahoma, regardless of how nice we appear, to raise a family or start a business where conditions are sub-human. we don't even provide sidewalks for our youth or disabled residents and public safety issues in oklahoma are non-existent.
i dare you to put this on the top 100 list. i'm sure some bubble gum issues will make the list and be far more politically safe than what i'm suggesting.
with disdain and interest i submit the above idea, david walch.
