There have been studies on honesty in the general population.

It has been found through research about one-third will NEVER steal. One-third will steal if given the opportunity. Another one-third will make a real effort to steal and feel no remorse.

I remember years ago two teenage boys were walking across a hotel parking lot and saw the trunk of a car open with nobody around.

They saw a gym bag full of cash in the trunk. They grabbed the bag and took off. It contained thousands and thousands in cash.

The next day, the teenagers went to the local motorcycle store and each bought an expensive “crotch rocket” motorcycle, paying cash. As I recall, one of them immediately wrecked his brand new motorcycle. The county sheriff’s department investigated and found out about the bag of cash. The guys surrendered the money and the bikes. The newspaper ran a story about it.

As last was reported in the local newspaper, NOBODY EVER CAME FORWARD TO CLAIM THE CASH.

Perhaps two young criminals made off with the loot of more serious criminals.

That lines up nicely with one-third Conservative, one-third Squishy Middle, one-third Democrat.
