Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
But seriously, 10% of adults in Florida, that's got to be a lot of drug possession convictions, right?
A quick google found this [link]
"Of the inmates residing in federal prisons as of September 2011, and for whom offense data are known, more than half (101,929 or 50.4%) were serving sentences for federal drug offenses—including simple possession.
Nationally, 13 % of Black men are convicted felons, so I can see it being that high. We probably just don't know that many felons because we are predominantly white middle class people.
I gave away a loaf of pumpkin bread and a loaf of banana bread. Half the muffins and one half of a banana loaf were consumed between snack and dessert.

Florida specifically: "The Florida Department of Corrections receives more than 34,000 inmates each year. This year, the top three crime categories for admissions were for drug offenses (26.1%), followed by burglary (16.9%) and theft/forgery/fraud (14.9%)." [link]
50% of the 100,000 people in prison in Florida are in for violent offenses of one kind or another, 22% property crimes, and 18% drug-related. [link] That's more violence than I would have thought, actually. Not that I know anything about crime statistics.

Is there ever a time when you can use decimate properly?
You know the only time I *ever* remember to watch the debates is when you guys remind me via watch'n'post!
Thank dog for the Tivo automatically recording all the time (it buffers the most recent 30 minutes of whatever channel it's on) and my TV for defaulting to CBS!
