"And you also realize that muslim countries that chop of the hands of thieves have very low crime rates. Maybe we should give that a try, too."
How do you equate 1 year in jail with three meals and HBO to cutting off one's hand? I missed something I spose.
Granted, it was an extreme comparison. The point was simply that throwing everyone who blows a .08 on their first offense into the slammer for a year is extreme. I do not advocate mandatory minimums. It isn't black and white.
