Hi Ryan, as you were just saying about Re: STREET PEOPLE....
RB> 
RB> RT> minorities cause more crime?  No, it means that socio-economic 
RB> RT> conditions breed crime.  Fix those conditions and crime rates drop.
RB> 
RB> Ah, now you are catching on. 
Huh?  I have been aware of those things far longer than you have been
on this planet.
RB>What do you think I'm talking about? 
You try to make it a 100% case which is pure crap.  It isn't.
RB> So how do you
RB> fix a culture of poverty that has been getting worse and worse
RB> over the past  100 years? 
Education at many levels.  The poverty stricken to give them job
skills making them employable, the middle class to gain an increase in
job satisfaction, the wealthy so that they understand that education of
the masses comes back to them in the form of more qualified and better
employees, and the government so that it understands that just standing
back and throwing monies into welfare is not the solution. 
RB> All of the symptoms of that poverty are
RB> becoming  more and more worse
RB> 
RB> - race and wealth stratification, crime, juvenile delinquency,
RB> incarceration  rates, infrastructure decline, police brutality. So
RB> how do  you solve it? 
See above.
RB> How do
RB> you give economic justice to people? 
What do you consider 'economic justice'?
RB> Why are we looking at 
RB> yet ANOTHER EXAMPLE 
RB> of the failure of the american dream?
Because we are not educating our nation and its people.  We don't want
the people on welfare, but we don't want to spend the money to educate
them either.
