Good grief, these people will do anything to promote socialism, like they think we're all stupid.

Naturally, some researchers have reported data that fail to support the income-inequality theory of homicide. But I find it persuasive, especially because it points toward an attractive solution to high homicide rates: a more equitable economic system, perhaps with higher taxes for the wealthy and more generous welfare programs for the poor.

Don't they even feel the need to lie a LITTLE bit? "Those other researchers that rely on all that inconvenient truth, you know.....data....say it's not this way, but I like it anyway, because it means socialism is the answer"!!!

If you're going to pick which theory is right because you like the result -- and admitting it -- isn't bad enough in the first place, why would you pick socialism?? If I were stupid enough to decide what's true by what I like, socialism would be at the BOTTOM of the list.

I cancelled my unScientific American subscription as soon as I read their first "Global Warming is a fact" editor's piece. I think it was about 5 years ago.

I don't suffer fools well.

Today is a good day to die.
I didn't say for whom.

Peace with justice is freedom. Peace without justice is slavery. Which more accurately describes the Socialist Utopias of the world?

From the article: "... because comprehensive statistics were not maintained during the Soviet Era, ..."

The lack of comprehensive statistics was no doubt to hide the fact that crime had virtually disappeared in the Soviet Union? What nonsense.

How ignorant does a person need to be in order to support creation of a system which has been demonstrated to create lines of people waiting for bread that nobody has any economic incentive to create?

The coming failure of the U.S. economy will be caused by the failed socialist policies of our government, including the socialist lending practices encouraged by the government, and the unmanageable debt created by Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare.

As Glenn Beck says, they view themselves as the ranchers, and we are the cows. It’s their job to take care of us, in spite of our stupid wishes. And of course the rules that apply to cows don’t apply to the ranchers.
