Number of prisoners does not correlate with safety on the streets. Really.
Number of prisoners is a function of community and judicial tolerance of bad

OK OK OK

Time out.

This thread is getting silly.

Somehow I don't think we're going to change each other's mind.

Here's my proposal:

other one.
If we're both alive and well, then let's wait another 10 years - and so on.

Deal?
