41. RE: your clip. what changed in the 70's? The "war on drugs"
in one form or another and Madd (1980) made it possible to incarcerate someone for 10 years for having a glass of wine with dinner.

Politicians started listening to every jerk who wants to control the actions of others and started increasing punishments in huge steps in a politician A says "I'll send them to jail for 5 years for that!" and politician B says "Oh, yeah? I'll send them to jail for 10 years!" and so forth.
