That isn’t what I was saying at all.

Americans have a lot of freedom. We are free to make choices. With that comes the burden of making good choices.

Part, not all, of our higher incarceration rate is due to the fact that we conform less and make bad choices more often when compared to other countries.

I agree with you 100% that the War on Drugs also inflated our incarceration rate and it is horrible and should be corrected.
