I see, so in your eyes, today’s totalitarian world is how different from the totalitarian worlds gone by? You think any of the prior Empires like the Roman, Ottoman, British, and or any of the other Kingdoms of the world were benevolent states? Seems to me you may be as ignorant of history of you say I am of the current world. So be it.

No, I mean that today’s totalitarian world is widespread and interweaving with the formerly free countries of Europe and the New World.

Of course that was in response to your misguided assumption that people incarcerated are all criminals, as if due process, graft and overregulation does not exist.

“Of course that was in response to your misguided assumption that people incarcerated are all criminals, as if due process, graft and overregulation does not exist.”

While I concede my comment was based upon the premise those incarcerated were guilty of crimes (not withstanding it was a mere one sentence generalization), I’d like for you to explain the consistent connection between due process, graft and overregulation and what those disjoined concepts have to do with this discussion. Due process is a constitutional right, graft is a crime and over regulation is an opinion.

Frankly since you chose to make a mountain out of a mole hill over my sentense, I think you should at least stay within the bounds of logic.
