The US jails far more people today than the USSR ever managed to. It seems to be working out okay for us.

    So, it's fine to jail millions, as long as they're people who sell or smoke pot and not people who you consider important?

      I didn't say that either jailing system was good. I said that they had different properties. But, now that you've brought it up, do you think that they're equally bad? (Note - "both bad" doesn't imply "equal".)
