New York Times:
Length of sentences causes the huge U.S. inmate
count that dwarfs other nations.
1920 to 2007 chart. The
National Rifle Association is largely
responsible
for pushing through
lengthy mandatory-minimum drug sentencing. Even for
cannabis growing. NRA is today's
paramilitary Brown Shirts
and
Hitler Youth promoting
vast
concentration
camps mostly for nonviolent
"undesirables." Even otherwise mainstream commentators like
George Noory of
Coast to Coast AM
mindlessly repeat the "tough on crime" and "law and order,"
stormtrooper
door-buster, SWAT slogans. |

| U.S. police state: "At midyear 2005, nearly 4.7 percent of black males were in prison or jail,
compared to 1.9 percent of Hispanic males, and 0.7 percent of white males. Among
males in their late 20s, nearly 12 percent of black males, compared to 3.9
percent of Hispanic males and 1.7 percent of white males, were incarcerated" -BJS. |

The majority of U.S.
prisoners are there due to the drug war!

| Most of the world's problems could be solved by
lowering the Earth's population over time. One child per woman would achieve
this.
Nations with high
population density
(as in China, India, South Korea, Japan, Belgium,
Holland, Germany, England) are experiencing severe problems.
|
In the meantime the citizens of most nations would do better, and be
happier, if they had sustainable, livable economies with universal single-payer
healthcare (which costs less due to preventive medicine),
higher
minimum wages (which lessens boom/bust cycles), and
graduated taxation and lower overall taxes
(recycles wealth without over-taxation).

Save U.S. soldiers' lives by
withdrawing to a few big
bases in Kurdistan and Kuwait where U.S. protection is welcome.
This will also protect the world's oil supplies, and lower tensions
greatly.
Let Iraqis run Iraq. |
"The most recent evidence comes from
autopsies of 44 prisoners who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan in U.S.
custody. Most died under circumstances that suggest torture. The reports
use words like 'strangulation,' 'asphyxiation' and 'blunt force
injuries.' ... A few months before the [Abu Ghraib] scandal broke
[spring 2004], Coalition Provisional Authority polls showed Iraqi support
at 63 percent. A month after
Abu Ghraib, the number was 9 percent. Polls
showed that 71 percent of Iraqis were surprised by the
revelations." -Newsweek, Nov. 14, 2005, page 36.

Axis
of EVIL: USA,
Israel, and Iran are wannabe theocracies. U.S. drug-war ads say drugs fund
terrorism. The truth is that people like EVIL Texan,
Armageddonist, George W. Bush support the funding and arming of EVIL
fundamentalist Israeli settler
expansion,
terrorism, land theft, and murder
of people like American Rachel Corrie
(photo higher up) in Gaza and the West Bank in occupied Palestine. It is an EVIL
Bush-led,
fundamentalist, U.S.
Death Cult of Big Oil! Working
with hate radio, hate TV, and the disinfo of EVIL moron pundits
at Fox News and much of
corporatist Big Media.

Here below are 2 Bible verses that release people from
all Bible verses,
all religions, all texts, all names, and even names
like "Jesus" or "Lucifer"!
If people can think and feel for themselves, and if the
spiritual and/or extra-dimensional worlds are real, and if free will is real, then no one can really force
anyone to loosen up, and open themselves up to broader horizons. And conversely,
no one can forcibly close someone up and keep them from thinking and
feeling. People are in prisons of their own making and choosing. Especially
the prison of religion. Many of the world's problems, wars,
hate campaigns, and
drug wars come
from text-based religious fundamentalists. It is due to their simplistic
intolerance, and their close-minded belief in
the infallibility of religious texts and names. These true believers are closed-off
simpletons and dumbstruck beginners who are tied to their religious textbooks.
Texts that are often completely changed from the original texts, and/or
were edited by many people over many years. Texts
that are often chosen for political purposes centuries ago. There are many
texts that are more accurate and truthful. But they usually attack the
status quo, especially religion. So they are often burned and lost to history. Sometimes they
are found. In any case almost no text can be proven to come unedited from
the period or person claimed.
Even these 2 famous verses below are too harsh.
People can open or close their minds and hearts at will. The
point is that names, texts, and religions matter little compared to the
spiritual and/or extra-dimensional worlds (whatever they are).
