1 If you are actually interested, I can supply you with some percentages. I know of several murderers, rapists and bank robbers in prison right now in SC.

2 In SC, about only 1 in 5 are incarcerated for Dangerous Drugs.

3 Free Mumia!

4 Drug dealers as political prisoners or POWs? heh. Anarchists would up that number with anyone imprisoned for crimes against property.

5 Perhaps not dealers--but some users. And certainly people who were involved in the medical marijuana movement, and have been busted for that. If they aren't political prisoners, the term has no meaning. Oh, and--PROPERTY IS THEFT!

6 When libertarians talk about lowering taxes, I nod my head. When they talk about reducing the size of government, I nod my head. But they can never talk for more than a couple of minutes before they start ranting about drugs. Please don't start equating drug criminals with political criminals. You may disagree with the law, but doing drugs isn't a political act.

7 However, if you aren't a user yourself, but you cultivate marijuana for cancer patients and get imprisoned nonetheless, it points to a systemic problem in this country. Anyway, I can hold out for HOURS AT A TIME before I start ranting about drugs. (And I don't do any of 'em recreationally, unless one counts the gin in my gin and tonic.)
