[Still Thinking]

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.

But folks like this liar believe they will somehow be above the fray when socialism kicks in, and because they are soooo much smarter than anyone else, temples will be built to them.
