Re: Communitas: The Carceral State (Vesla Weaver & Heather Mac Donald)

Angry Re: Communitas: The Carceral State (Vesla Weaver & Heather Mac Donald)

I'm a liberal and think many of McDonald's arguments are bunk, but Prof. Weaver is not doing her side any favors. Her arguments include:

Re: A Satisfying Deliverance (Dana Stevens & David Edelstein)
