OT Partytime,

Allow me to clarify my position. I am not arguing that the USA doesn't have a prison problem. We do incarcerate a lot of people. As heronwater suggested a huge percent of which emanate from our aggressive drug enforcement policies.

Just because we enforce our drug laws doesn't make us a police state. There are good reasons for maintaining strong drug enforcement. As I admitted in a previous post it is possible to make a plausible case for some kind of decriminalization effort.

But most of all, I took issue with your statistic about the USA being the world leader in incarceration because it made an unfair comparison between us and the rest of the world. The USA posts accurate prison statistics and most of the rest of the world doesn't. So what good does it do to make an invalid comparison by citing a statistic that in all probability is unfair and inaccurate. And yes, I regret that other legitimate sources of information continually repeat the same misinformation that you do.

The other subjects you mentioned about the US domination of world resources and why everybody hates America are far too complex to cover appropriately here on the "Incarcerated Anthony@Equity Investigations" message board.

Regards, Ed S.
