...out of whack.

Interesting. New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristoff noted that we incarcerate a prisoner in America at a cost of $49,000 a year. And that at the same time, we have 46 million Americans without health insurance. Another sign that America's priorities are out of whack. We spend a small fortune to put more people in prison than any other country in the world. At the same time that we deny many of our citizens adequate health care. --Jim Broede
