... When I grow up, I want to be just like you (I just turned 48!). Whatever. Would it be possible that you put the cart in front of the horse? No. Would it be possible that, say, the same factor or factors that cause poverty also cause crime? Yes. This, in my opinion, would show up as an statistical correlation, wouldn't it? Yes. I never said poverty was the ONLY cause of crime. But it's pretty dumb to think that there's NO causal relationship. Pete |

I never said poverty was the ONLY cause of crime. But it's pretty dumb to
think that there's NO causal relationship. I don't believe anyone ever claimed that there was NO causal relationship between crime and poverty. What I implied, however, is that we shouldn't care if there is. In America, theft is a moral problem, not an economic one. No one needs to steal to survive here. Therefore, no one "needs" to steal. And, thus, to restate the obvious, the people that *do* steal here are truly scum. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
