Kash,

OT

Well most people that are incarcerated are due to drug related offences.

I wish we would call off this silly "war on drugs", but I don't think it is going to happen.

As to the how many people are in jail because of non-violent drug related offenses, I don't know the percentage, but my guess is that it is not "most" - meaning more than half.

Joe

"Most people tend to agree with this. Except for the religious nuts."

Kash, What percentage of the population would you consider "religious nuts"? Just a ball park figure, no need for precision.
