Also, seems kind of scary that this implies a future where so many people are in prison that their vote could actually tip the balance ?

It's a recipe for creating monsters similar to how intervention in the middle east created those terrorists and their symbiotic relationship with the military industrial complex. That plan is so ridiculously evil and doomed to fail that I can't help but think there's some second order effect that they're going for here.

The monsters aren't the ones being created, the monsters are the ones creating those circumstances to begin with.

I know you didn't mean anything by it, but that shift in focus is really important to point out, because those same people rely on you and me to see the poor people who's lives they destroyed as the problem, instead of whose who really are.

Begs the question of if the Stanford prison experiment ever really ended.
