I noticed that too, the writer may be an Ebonics speaker as a first language.
Where are the results? If none present, I think the fix is in!
Here was my comment at the end of the survey:
“Gun control simply doesn’t work to reduce street crime. However, historically gun control has done wonders for INCREASING crime by governments - specifically, the wholesale elimination of serious political opposition or outright genocide. Virtually every dictatorship of the past and present has had strict gun control, and EVERY genocide has the necessary prerequisite of a disarmed victim population. You want to reduce street crime - well, the solution isn’t that difficult: punish wrong-doers early and fairly severely. That teenager who breaks windows should be jailed for a time, to teach that crime doesn’t pay. More severe penalties for more severe crimes is also called for - the idea of releasing murderers after 7-10 years because of “good behavior” is absurd, as well as a fundamental injustice to the victim and his/her family and to society as a whole.
Gun control is a failure - unless your goal is to increase the authority of a government over its people to the point where no effective opposition is possible.”
FANTASTIC ESSAY! Pity that they probably won’t read all of it. But thanks for adding it to your survey, and for posting it here.
Done. Haven’t FReeped a poll in ages.
