Wow!! I would NOT have guessed that New Orleans murder rate is 25 times as much as Honolulu and 8 times that of New York. The USA definitely gaols people who would NOT be imprisoned in other countries. Martha Stewart would absolutely NOT have got near a prison. Bernie Ebbers, Kenny Boy etc would perhaps have got some wet bus ticket slap on the wrist. People associated with opium, marijuana and cocaine get export awards in some places. In Amsterdam, they treat them as adult choice but do have some laws to manage the situation. I like the fact that criminals are gaoled in the USA. I wish there was more of it here. Recidivist crime is enormous here. Okay, people are up, so I'd better go and plan a conspiracy against the Roman Empire. I'm starting with my cybercurrency to replace the US$ and other fiat currencies run by thieving megalomaniacs. When people do things for each other, I don't see why the State should treat us like serfs and confiscate half the transaction straight away, and diluting the money holder by 10% [or more] a year.
