I'm sorry, Pete, my newsreader shows that you wrote:

Theft and other crimes occur for a wide variety of reasons, even here in
the US. You'd have to be a blockhead to actually *condone* crime, but a
person who is as ignorant as to the reasons for it as Jay is has no hope
of ever contributing to reducing or eliminating crime.

There are, in fact, plenty of thefts that happen every day in this country
motivated strictly by survival.

To which I replied:

What a load of crap.

To which YOU replied:

I don't know who's load of crap you replied to, but it wasn't mine. Your
reply had nothing to do with what I actually wrote (other than the topic
being theft).

I'm confused here -- did you NOT write that top paragraph?

If not, I apologize. (Although it's STILL a load of crap -- it's just not
yours! :-)
