| Do you really consider China a reasonable society? While their published incarceration rates may be low, couldn't this be because they a) don't publish the arrest and confinement of many of those they incarcerate and b) have a government which uses fear, suppression of many liberties, and unregulated governmental violence to control its citizenry?
I find your goal commendable, not foolish. But the great strides you may make towards accomplishing that goal may appear weak if you compare them to the "accomplishments" of a government full of fear, suppression, and sanctioned violence.
