I'm a criminal .. and so are you

This article is about a author named Michelle Alexander, she wrote an article about herself going around calling herself a criminal. But its not the kind of criminal that goes to jail for killing someone, sexually assaulting or buying illegal drugs. The article focuses on her saying that being a criminal can be anything. Such as, driving over a speed limit, taking candy or money from someones purse or anything else. For example, she includes "Perhaps there should be a box on the census form that says "I'm a criminal.""Everyone who has ever committed a crime would be required to check it." Concluding, that " maybe we, as a nation, would second-guess our apparent zeal for denying full citizenship to those branded felons." My opinion, of this article is that its interesting. It makes a good point about everyone is a criminal, that you don't have to necessarily commit a felony, but just something small as getting a traffic ticket is acts of a criminal.
