lol what I meant was that his question was completely specious to the

How so? I don’t happen to agree with the conclusion being drawn, or at least
implied, (that we are either as bad or almost as bad as DPRK... as if!) but
the large number of incarcerations among the underclass strikes me as a sign
of oppression in this country.

The comparison was between leaders, not countries.

We have more people in jail per capita than the USSR did! If you don’t find
that bothersome, that’s bothersome.

I think it’s bothersome, and hence I pointed it out.

I may come off as a right wing ideologue, but I think I am a little more
open-minded then I apparently come off. Actually, it might surprise you to
learn that I started off a very liberal kollege student! Perhaps it is just
my getting more conservative in my old age:-)

Can’t find the cite right now, so it might be apocryphal, but IIRC, wasn’t it
Churchill who said that anyone not in their 20s that wasn’t Liberal hadn’t a
heart and anyone in their 30s that wasn’t Conservative hadn’t a brain?

I’ve heard that, but don’t know from whom it came.
