First let's clear the air by saying that Phillip Hallam-Baker 
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is a renowned computer security expert who has 
worked for the Clinton Whitehouse and is a Clinton/Gore Devotee.

Of course people who work in government are ordinary people.  But 
shouldn't we be a little troubled that we lead the world in 
incarceration?   Our current rate of incarceration is six to 10 times 
that of most industrialized countries. We have more prisoners in one 
state, California, then do the nations of France, Germany, Great 
Britain, Japan, Singapore and the Netherlands combined.  I'm not 
saying that the Prison Guards, Judges, Law Makers, and Law 
Enforcement Officers are necessarily bad people, individually, but 
when they stick people in jail for smoking marihuana for alleviating 
cancer or aids how can I not think their actions are evil?
