Most american historians agree that the 19th century was a FAR more violent society than our present day.

But I'm not talking strictly about violence. I'm talking about TOLERANCE of crime and criminality.

An almost laughable claim. It has been cited many times in the last decade or so that we now have more people in jail, per capita, than any so called 'free' society, -- ever.

You are simply ignoring history to advance your fanatical repressive agenda.

What agenda? You continue to ignore what I say, and substitute your narrow-minded template ("everyone's a statist, unless they prove to me otherwise!")

FYI, I wasn't talking about an "agenda." I was positing a "what-if" scenario. Go back and read. THEN jerk your knee.
