Lord of the Flies

We don’t have as many looters or rioters here because so much of our likely rioting and looting population (young, poorly educated, underprivileged men) is imprisoned. It is interesting to note more people are imprisoned here in this “free” country than in any other country in the world. Our incarceration rate actually surpassed that of the “Evil Empire” USSR back in 1998 when we went past 7/1000 people in prison.

This graph shows our incarceration rate by year. Note the sharp turn upward right about the time Ray-gun took office. It is not going down anytime soon, and since more and more prisons are becoming for-profit, privately-owned enterprises with several powerful lobbies behind them, it will probably increase even more dramatically in the years to come.

Pri: Yeah, because intelligent and well-read is a BAD thing!

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

“Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter the room; they contradict their parents, chatter before company; gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers.”
— Socrates

Apparently, ancient Greece wasn’t such a Golden Age, either.

Agree strongly that we lock up those most likely to loot Also think obesity makes it more difficult to riot and loot. You need to be energetic and lean, there’s a lot of running involved. I think the strong disenfranchised are jailed, the remainder are in too poor shape to do much else
