Biased towards public opinion? Don't you think that they should serve public opinion? If it doesn't reflect public opinion, at least somewhat, then it reflects something universal ... And ... I don't know if you, Pinko Communist, want to get into universality.

For instance, for every 2 latino or black people in jail for drug related crimes, theres 1 white person for the same crimes, and for every 2 latino and black person out actively doing drug related activities, there are 5 white people, free to do those same ones.

You want to show us the study on this? Preferably one that isn't from the NAACP or the ACLU, but a third party. If it is true though, which it very well could be, the drug users being arrested and convicted are usually drug users living in urban areas (suburban drug users are prosecuted less, one would have to assume), and because there is a higher population of Black people in urban areas than White people in urban areas, the numbers would reflect this. And, the 'sameness' of the crime can be questionable. There is a difference between doing a drug in your house and doing a drug in an alley way. Though they are both crimes, one is a lot easier to find and convict.
A communist economy/socialist civil rights democratic-republic law making might work better for in the long run tho, if that makes any sense...
And it would be better in the long run if we could all fly, and had ice cream makers in our hands, with free electricity, and money making machines that magically did not cause inflation. We have civil rights, we have socialist policies, and we have democratic-republic law making. THere is zero evidence that a communist economy produces anything but starvation and mass murder, however.

Good zing at the end, btw.
