That last one - about debtor's prisons - certainly seems plausible.

A lot of that going here, too.

May they all be stranded in Omaha two years before the caucuses. (Sorry, Steve.)

I hear they've been making a come-back, mainly with homeless transients who get sent to jail for some minor charge, charged fines to pay for their jail stay like many lock-ups are doing these days, released, only to be re-arrested some time later for failure to pay those fines.

It's like we're reverting back to the early 1800's or something.
