"5. Higest incarceration rate in world-   because we put criminals in jail.   In other countries they put criminals in office and consider corruption the norm.   Were Sadaams sons ever arrested for rape and murder?"

We put poor people in jail. I believe White-collar thieves spend less time in jail per dollar stolen than car thieves. We put wealthy criminals in office and consider corruption by campaign donations the norm. We jail drug users and go lightly on drug dealers, and lighter still on those who launder drug money.

"4. 1/4 afro americans in jail-   That is an easy one.   Because they committed crimes."

Not quite. Just read in the paper today California statistics show blacks get more severe sentences for the same offenses than whites. And there's plenty of evidence that this holds true across the country. Hell, being convicted of "DWB" has become a cliché.

"The real question is why are they committing crimes. I would contend that the 70% out of wedlock birth rate has a great deal to do with the poverty and incarceration.   That and voting democratic which should be a crime."

Because they're black bastard Democrats, eh?

For shame.
