At some point all these distressing, disturbing, and ultimately embarrassing situations will have to be resolved or a majority of people will end up in jail not because they need correction in any criminal-justice way but because there is no hope for them anywhere but in jail.

Then again this time I will be armed with my iPhone, so I can ignore most of it conveniently.
