Freedom House worked on a report "Today's American: How Free? " . They are going to show that report on Monday. Freedom House founded in 1941, and 80% financing from the Gov. of USA. "Kommersant" agency get some info from that Report. According to Kommersant, on Freedom House report: 1-Counterterrorism effort— monitoring of domestic telecommunications and the detention and interrogation of suspected terrorists 2-Secret prison , CIA prisons, and Guantanamo 3- Every 7 of 1000 ppls in US are in jail. Every 1 of 37 ppls had been in jail. USA is on first place number of prisoners Black ppls have chance 1/3 to get jailed , but white ppls have chance have chance to get jailed 1/17 4- The entire chapter of report is dedicated to the practice of designation by the President to the key state offices of its friends, who do not have a sufficient qualification and experience. In the opinion of the authors of report, record holder according to the number of such designations is the present President George Bush but in this case the level of political corruption in USA considerably less than in many other countries.
Free to work longer hours than most countries, pay huge taxes that don't translate into social services, free to take only approved drugs & medications. You know, freedom to do whatever the government allows us to do. btw: I think the prison statistic recently hit 1 in 100
You do something retarded, you go to jail, that's how it works. I'm white and I've done 2 retarded things and went to jail twice. African american culture is different than white culture - you are a product of your atmosphere. If a black kid grows up listening to gangster rap, how do you think he's going to act when the only role models on the block (the ones with women) have drugs and guns? Imitate. So if black people go to jail more than white people, these numbers say black people are committing more crimes than white people. I wonder if this will make anyone angry lol. I totally agree with you here.
