It has gone even farther this time. Worst is some were let in on the game & allowed to profit from itwhile others were simply FUC*ED! It's alright though, justice will be done.

deeply OT - but interesting: LOCKED UP IN THE CENSUS COUNT This op-ed first apeared in the Chicago Tribune -- you are seeing it here with the permission of Marc Mauer. For additional information, visit The Sentencing Project. by Tracy Huling and Marc Mauer As the nation prepares to complete the Census, a little-known counting provision portends what might appear to be an unheralded triumph of integration -- significant black and Hispanic populations in once lily-white rural towns. These demographics are not the legacy of the civil rights movement, though. Rather, the new minority denizens of rural America are part of the nation's burgeoning prison population. The Census counts inmates, mostly residents of inner city communities, as part of the populations of towns where they are incarcerated. The combined impact of this regulation and the near doubling of the prison population since 1990 could yield a substantial shift in government dollars and political power from urban to rural areas.
