“We saw a dramatic turnabout in crime and public disorder in New York under Republican Rudy Giuliani”

Mr. Williamson or anyone interested could instruct also why cities choose bad policy, democrat mayors. They live poorly, but they choose the leadership.
Also, as he talks about out of wedlock births, people now think, ‘more birth control’, but birth control as a social norm is actually the problem, and it has to do with its causative breakdown of the family, as well as an increase in births to unwilling parents, especially to unwilling males/fathers.
from the Brookings Institute:
“Since 1970, out-of-wedlock birth rates have soared. In 1965, 24 percent of black infants and 3.1 percent of white infants were born to single mothers. By 1990 the rates had risen to 64 percent for black infants, 18 percent for whites. Every year about one million more children are born into fatherless families.”
And from http://www.catholiceducation.org/articles/marriage/mf0002.html:
“The birth rate of unmarried women has gone from 14.1 per thousand in 1950 to 43.8 per thousand in 1990: a 310% increase...”
Golly!
