1. People who won't pass just go to the secondary and black market - see the Bloomberg tapes.

2. You're not seriously claiming we don't have a disproportionate enforcement in our justice system? I don't know what state you live in - but California would love to send you prisoners. My statistics are correct - please consider this look at San Diego:

For example in San Diego:

Nearly one-third were attributed to an argument, 26 percent to gang activity, 22 percent to domestic violence, 6 percent each related to drugs or money issues, 4 percent each for other motives and child abuse, and 2 percent happened during a robbery, according to SANDAG's study.

A disproportionate number of local homicide victims were black or Hispanic and under the age of 39, according to the study.

A firearm was used in 54 percent of the homicides, according to SANDAG.

Please take a good hard look in the mirror and then re-asses how you're think about the justice system, here's a book: http://www.amazon.com/Color-Justice-Ethnicity-Wadsworth-Contemporary/dp/1111346925/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1324596771&sr=8-1
