My dad would often say that the creation of the internet and its potential to organize large numbers of idiots into voting blocs was the death knell to political discourse, and thus, our country, as only numbers truly matter in the end. And the idiots have those.

He'd say he hoped he never lived to see it.

So when I see posts like this, his death doesn't sting as bad.

Could the prisoners all be Swedish women, around 30 to 35 years-old?

If so, I’m ALL in.

Just trying to do my part in the war on terror.

How many of those "peers" were billionaire former Presidents and were currently running for President?

This is up there on the dumb ideas list right beside Gov. Landry's bringing a knockoff tiger to the football game.

And interesting idea, but not a good one.

Maybe he's just messing with the media again.

Your dad was absolutely correct.

Idiots now are able to voice their opinions and other idiots slurp it up.

Anyone who has ever visited Alcatraz would know you need to level it and start over in order to have a functioning modern prison that is safe for the corrections workers. It would be much cheaper to build another ADX either in Florence or somewhere else. We don't need water to prevent escapes from that level of prison, and no need to destroy a landmark and tourist attraction.

This seems like he's floating something ridiculous so it can be walked back to a more reasonable offer.
