Honesty doesn't pay :(

Collary #1: Everybody in jail and everybody who's ever been in jail is innocent. All you have to do is ask them.

Which makes that pure speculation and opinion.

Not everybody - some actually admit guilt. A large portion of those blame others.

Oddly, if you assume a 99% accurate justice system (that is, 99% of the people who aren't "criminal" are never punished, and 99% of those who are "criminal" are punished) and a 1% "criminal" population, fully 50% of those punished are innocent. Seriously. Take a populateion of 10,000 with the above assumptions
1% (100) are "criminal", 9,900 (99%) are not "criminal"
Of the "criminal" population, 99 (99% of 100) are punished.
Of the non-"criminal" population, 99 (1% of 9,900) are punished.
Of 198 (99+99) punished, 99 are non-"criminal".

You can play with the numbers some to get different results, but it sure is interesting, isn't it?

You have a right to be angry. I certainly would be - And you expressed it rather calmly.

How did Ephesians 4:26 go?
