Some readers have accused Dawn of being unpatriotic, an unfair charge since Dawn is regularly pointing out ways "we're number one!"
For example, reading recently released prison stats, Dawn learned that nearly one in every l50 people in the US is in prison or jail, according to the
Justice Department. No other democracy even comes close to matching this figure! USA ! USA ! USA! For Americans born this year, the chance of being incarcerated is one
in 20; for black Americans it is one in four. African American males are imprisoned in the United States at a rate four times that of males in South Africa. USA!
USA! USA!
