 The statistics (including yours...read Sagan) proove that violent
 crime etc. is much more prevalent in poor areas with poor
 education) than in the more well-off areas (despite an equal
 pollution burden in most cases). Did Strauss and Masters and co.
 find equal criminality in the police and the more better off people
 in those areas? No..they didn't..full stop...burn you books.

 As I said...burn your books.
