__ also think one can understand the sociological, fiscal and environmental circumstances that would lead another to cause harm but still seek to protect oneself from it. I am willing and able to protect myself and applaud those who want to help.______
i agree with you, seldom. there are many different reasons that criminals are created and thrive. economy is one but it is only one out of dozens of reasons that causes one person to pick one road and another goes in a different direction.
a good example would be my family. five children. reared by same parents. brother and i lived in the house at the same time. treated the same. brother quit school, joined army, came back, lost jobs, started stealing, became a horrid bully, still steals, still bullies and has been married 5 times and, as if we need more, is very, very abusive.......
my sisters and i are as different as night and day from my brother. he blames in on our parents. he is 74. how do we explain his behavior? he shaped himself. politics and the economy had nothing to do with his choices.
it would be nice if we could pin all of our criminal woes on washington.......we could just go up there and mow them all down. :-)
