Finally, someone has something nice to say about Texas, Gov. Hair

An editorial appearing in today's New York Times had some complimentary words for Texas and our would-be presidential candidate governor concerning the reform of the juvenile justice system around these parts. Imagine this: the state that kills more prisoners than any other is not even sending a lot of juveniles to jail anymore. Instead, these "troubled children receive guidance and rehabilitation services in or near their communities, where families, churches and other local organizations can be part of the process." And, according to the editorial, the scheme seems to be working. Hooray for us!
