Hey, can you do me a favor?
Feb. 9th, 2014 11:31 amIf you read an article and like it or find it useful, but not enough to repost, and the ONLY thing keeping you from commenting is because you can't think of anything substantial to say and don't want to go with "thanks for the article!", could you try not to let that hold you back? If you don't want to comment because you don't want to comment, that's one thing, but sometimes it does my spammy heart good to see that people read these things, even if they have nothing weighty to say about them. I know I often refrain from commenting because I think my comment will sound silly and pointless, and I'm trying to break that habit.

Debtors' prisons sound like ancient history, right? Unfortunately, they're all too common across the United States. In spite of the Constitution, case law, and common sense, low-income people are routinely jailed in places as far-flung as Georgia and Washington State simply because they cannot afford to pay their court fines.
