Ungracious. Hateful. Prideful. Christless. Hellyun. Needing salvation or a host of other names that I cannot mention on this site.But I am going to be drop dead honest here. I heard on the radio that prisoners here in Texas will be receiving the H1N1 virus vaccination before the general public. I have a problem with this, a big problem. Why? Because in my honest opinion I think those who have not been convicted of a crime should get it before those who have been. That’s just my honest opinion.

I understand that just because someone is in prison (whether really guilty or not) this does not mean they are any less human than I am. Their life is no less precious or important than mine. More importantly God cares for me no more than he cares for them.

Hearing that news lets me know that I have a lot more growing to do in the area of human dignity.

How do you feel about the news that inmates will get the H1N1 vaccination before the general public?
