c /capitol/capital/ and...
Per capita, yes. But that doesn't explain the disparity in sentencing.
This is one where I am with the modern Liberals. There IS something
wrong. I can't explain exactly why, I have my pet theories (one I like
is the War On Drugs makes drugs too lucrative not to have turf wars
over), but no solid answers.
- OR -
leave it the original /capitol/ and I have to disagree.. minorities ARE
underrepresented, proportionally, among the criminals that carry out
their crimes on capitol hill.
