  10. Death penalty in full effect? Yeah. Let's kill all those drug offenders.> "Population statistics [[1]]In recent decades the U.S. has experienced a surge in its prison population, quadrupling since 1980, partially as a result of mandated sentences that came about during the "war on drugs" and despite the decline in violent crime and property crime since the early 1990s[2]. As of 2004, the three states with the lowest ratio of imprisoned to civilian population are Maine (148 per 100,000), Minnesota (171 per 100,000), and Rhode Island (175 per 100,000). The three states with the highest ratio are Louisiana (816 per 100,000), Texas (694 per 100,000), and Mississippi (669 per 100,000). [3] In terms of federal prison, 57% of those incarcerated were sentenced for drug offenses. Currently, considering local jails as well, almost one million of those incarcerated are in prison for non-violent crime. [4] In 2002, 93.2% of prisoners were male. About 10.4% of all black males in the United States between the ages of 25 and 29 were sentenced and in prison, compared to 2.4% of Hispanic males and 1.2% of white males. [5] In 2005, about 1 out of every 136 U.S. residents was incarcerated either in prison or jail.[6] The total amount being 2,320,359, with 1,446,269 in state and federal prisons and 747,529 in local jails.[7] [edit] Comparison with other countries Compared with other countries, the United States has among the highest incarceration rates in the world. More people are behind bars in the United States than any other country, according to available official figures. As of 2006, a record 7 million people were behind bars, on probation or on parole. Of the total, 2.2 million were incarcerated. China with 20% of the world's population ranks second with a reported 1.5 million followed by Russia with 870,000. However, China's true prison population has been speculated to be considerably higher by activists such as Harry Wu. The United States has 5% of the world's population and 25% of the world's incarcerated population.[2] In 2006 the incarceration rate in England and Wales is 139 persons imprisoned per 100,000 residents while in Norway it is 59 per 100,000 and in Australia and France it is around 100 inmates per 100,000. In many countries, it is common for prisoners to be paroled after serving as little as one third of their sentences. In the U.S., most states strictly limit parole, requiring that at least half of a sentence be served. For certain heinous crimes, there is no parole and the full sentence must be served. The prison population in China was 111 per 100,000 in 2001 (sentenced prisoners only), although this figure is highly disputed. Chinese human rights activist Harry Wu, who spent 19 years in forced-labor camps for criticizing the government, estimates that 16 to 20 million of his countrymen are incarcerated, including common criminals, political prisoners, and people in involuntary job placements. Even ten million prisoners would mean a rate of 793 per 100,000.[8] I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  11. Your right! We should look at China, Pakistan, Palestine or Iran to see how they do it. What think ye about this?> The United States has the highest prison population rate in the world, some 714 per 100,000 of the national population, followed by Belarus, Bermuda and Russia (all 532), Palau (523), U.S. Virgin Islands (490), Turkmenistan (489), Cuba (487), Suriname (437), Cayman Islands (429), Belize (420), Ukraine (417), Maldive Islands (416), St Kitts and Nevis (415), South Africa (413) and Bahamas (410).

  15. Isn't that a veiled way of asking for money? Shouldn't it be in the classified ads? You work for his campaign? I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  16. Another example of the democratic majority having absolutely no balls...they even had help from republicans to make the discussion a reality. A debate on impeachment would have been entirely appropriate, and called for. Bravo to Kucinich for introducing the measure. Shouldn't Bush and Rove be included in this disscussion?

  17. http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/authors/thanissaro/karma.htmlPersonally I'd like to look at the positve side of Karma as I get older.

  18. Gov. Richardson, D-NM. He's one of the better "qualified" on the left, but he's being ignored by the media. Waht do you think of Duncan Hunter? I like him, but I think he would be better as SecDef in Fred Thompson's administration. I am not sure about Thompson yet but I am listening He has poor judgment in picking convicted felons as campaign aides. I suppose you hold that against him This to funny.> Even Fred Thompson doubts he'll be president By Toby Harnden in Bedford, New Hampshire Last Updated: 4:45pm GMT 06/11/2007 Even Fred Thompson doesn't think he will become president. Chatting off-air to a television reporter, a stunningly candid off-the-cuff quip from the Hollywood actor cemented the impression that his heart is not in the 2008 race. Trying to encourage his studio to hurry up so an interview could start, Carl Cameron of Fox News said into his microphone: "The next president of the United States has a schedule to keep." Standing beside him, a deadpan Mr Thompson interjected: "And so do I." As some Thompson aides looked bemused and others cringed, a taken-aback Mr Cameron, Fox's chief political correspondent, exclaimed: "You can't do that kind of stuff!"

  19. Unfortunately people remember the Bay of Pigs so that shadows what he did. Actually, it foreshadows . . . Bay of Pigs came first, almost immediately in his first term. And it taught him an extremely important lesson about verifying what your advisors are telling you which is generally credited as the reason why he handled the missle crisis so well. Contrast and compare that to today . . . The more I learn about the Cuban Missile Crisis, the scarier it is for what almost happened, but the more impressive it is for how the JFK administration handled it. But again, I get the impression Robert Kennedy was the guiding influence behind John Kennedy. Me thinks it was daddy Joe.

  24. Last time I flew to Florida no problemo. Return flight a week later. "You are on the no fly list sir." You tell me. Edit to add: They let me on the flight but wouldn't tell me why I was on the no fly list.

  25. I believe one of my neighbors has one. Get perfet reception most of the time and then nothing. Or could it be the military base I live next to? They wouldn't do anything illegal would they?
