Somewhat correct. It is also why the white population in prison has been rising quickly over the last twenty years.

If you factor in welfare, you get the same rates of incarceration.

Not sure what you mean there GeronL. Are you saying that Ron Paul supporters = open borders = kiddie porn? If so, that is a pretty big leap in commingling you are taking.

The War on Murder failed too

Excuse me, the the government never declared war on murder, and if they did slick, it would do as much good as their war on drugs did.

Hello?

I’m not of the opinion that anybody refrains from drugs due to their illegality. I also don’t think we’d be overwhelmed by new drug users should drugs be decrininalized. I also don’t think we can legalize all or most drugs enmasse, but I’m convinced the WOD has taken a horrible toll on us.

We liberaltarians also need to reeducate parents not to be prudish about kids too. Some evil parents don’t want their kids having sex, but we know it needs to start very early. We need to make them understand it is perfectly normal and okay to sleep nude with their nude kids “as long as both are comfortable with it” (meaning: as long as you have groomed and desensitized the kids well enough)

Thanks, but I was being a bit satirical for the crowd.
