( OT ) Interesting numbers (if true)
For reasons I don't understand I am getting sample copies of a magazine
called "UTNE", sort of a combo new age, liberal, holistic thing. Anyhow page 15 has a small insert titled "Land of the free?" Incarceration rates in George W Bush's America and Stalin's USSR U.S.S.R (1950) 1423 per 100,000 U.S.A (2000) 2298 per 100,000 Incarceration of black men in South Africa before ANC rule, and in contemporary America South Africa (1993) 851 per 100,000 U.S.A. (2002) 7150 per 100,000 Source U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics Prison Policy Initiative "The International Use of Incarceration" By Marc Mauer The Sentencing Project. |

Quite the statistics. What's going on? ...a general lack of respect for law & order? |

Damn, Bush sure caused a lot of incarcerations in a very short time. Sounds
more like it has been under several presidents. Your predjuice is showing. Bigtime! "Jim" wrote in message ...

Steve Yeah, I'd guess the rates are higher now. |

Steve If the numbers were broken down by age, you might actually have a valid point. Or not. Without that information, you can't pin this on any particular president. |

If the numbers were broken down by age, you might actually have a valid point. Or not. Without that information, you can't pin this on any particular president. The valid point is that Incarceration rates for 2000 can not be George W Bush's rates, as the magazine claimed, since he didn't take office until 2001. If the magazine called "UTNE" can't even that that point of well based fact correct, I wouldn't trust them for much else. Just goes to show how easy it is to brainwash liberal Democrats, eh? Steve |

Yeah, we have a well-deserved rep in this country for being the imprisonment capital of the universe, along with one of the few capital punishment nations among western democracies. Oh...we also have a a dumb ass as POTUS. |
