I still don't think that the olden days were all that more golden than the ones today.... ______ And for you to blame crime on socioeconomics, please note that the poverty rate in a recent year does not correlate well with the robbery rates.

Don't know... but in looking at the front page of newspapers from this time of the year in 1931 - which is during the Great Depression - there does seem to be a lot of similar crime that went on then... and it doesn't appear to limited to just one ethnic group... well, that might not be true - I didn't see any articles with hispanic ames and one the one that mentioned "Negroes".... My guess is that news about those demographics didn't show up in most mainstream publications at the time... ("Dat whyte guy makes more money then me,so I think I'll rape my neighbor.") Huh!!!??! Where are you seeing that given in the report that you provided a link to? Thirdly, the muscular thugs who are committing this savagery look anything but hungry. Man as a species tends to be a pretty violent creature and territorial by nature... Have you read any of the books by Desmond Morris, "The Human Zoo" or "The Naked Ape"? Finally, in a recent study of NFL players, it was found that their crime rates were only slightly less than those of their respective demographic groups in the general population. ("Pros And Cons: The Criminals Who Play In The NFL" by Jeff yaeger and Jeff Benedict, Time-Life Books) Crime is all around us.... heck, is there really that much of a difference between someone running a Ponzi scheme than someone simply robbing a bank? Least when you run a Ponzi scheme, your wife gets to keep a couple million..... Hernandez v. Texas was about a case that involved one hispanic man shooting and killing another hispanic man.... the murder itself wasn't the issue of the case - the issue was that there wasn't any hispanic people on the jury for the actual murder case - all the people on the jury were Caucasians... in fact, there had never been any person of color ever seated on a jury in that part of Texas... all that was "won" by the Supreme Court decision was that the case was retried with actual "peers" of the man who had been on trial... Even with hispanics on the jury he was still convicted of the crime.... Even Je$$e Jack$on was left speechless. It ain't fiscal bankruptcy, but moral bankruptcy, aided-and-abetted by the guilty white liberal girly men who continue to make excuses and keep them on a victim plantatation of self-pity, anger, and hatred. Eh, statically - in 50 years or so, all of the lower states will all be speaking spanish (well maybe not Louisiana, they will probably still use french creole) ... and probably many of the upper ones will speak spanish too.. ˇBuenas épocas mi amigo!

The data of course merely reinforce my non-scientific observations as to how society has degenerated during my lifetime. And based on my own lifetime of experiences and perceptions - not a whole lot has changed.... yet, I can recognize that there has been a change in life here (in Texas) since the 1940s.... change continues to happen.... Here in Austin, in the past ten years or so, a lot of developers have been buying up huge tracks of land (a lot of which was were people of lower social-economical means had been living for years...) and then building huge hige-rises full of high priced condos... so people got displaced... but the thing I wonder about is, who is going to replace them? Who has the money to pay for any of these new apartments? Are they just going to sit empty? Is someone going to pay taxes on these things? If they end up being abandoned and then becoming headquarters for some sort of criminal elements - who's the blame for that? And it's not just crime. When LBJ promised us cradle-to-grave entitlement, he told the mammies, "Y'all don't have to get your baby's daddy to support ya; the gubmint will support ya and ya sprogs." You got a date on when he made that speech? Be iteresting to listen to.... Recently picked up two audio packages at the local used book store... "The Greatest Conflict: News from the Front Lines of WWII", historic radio brodcats and news reports - Mill Creek entertainment - 20 disc set / 20+ hours and "History in Words: Civil Rights", greatest radio brodcasts and interviews - Topics Entertainment - 4 disc set / 4 hours. Haven't had time to listen to mucn more than the first disc of the W.W.II set... looking at the box for the civil rights set, I see that there is a 90 minute speech LBJ made in 1964... maybe I'll move that up in my listening que... Black out of wedlock rates 25% in 1963; today 70% Whites jumped from 8% to 25% http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/pdf/nvsr50_05tb19.pdf And it came to pass that his Great Society destroyed the family unit. Define family unit - seems to me that most cultures have different ideas of what makes a traditional family... and given that the US is a melting pot of a lot of different cultures - it's not too surprising that things got a bit dissolved over the years.... me, I blame the industrial revolution more than the government... people like Henry Ford and his assembly line.... and maybe Rosie the Riveter help things to change too.... change isn't always something that is done for good or bad reasons and the results of change aren't usually planned (and even if they are most times the plans go awry..) Recently watched a documentary on PBS... about how the late 1500's/early 1600's the bible was rewritten (based on combining two different versions) into what we now call the King James version... Protestants that didn't like that change moved here to America so they could use their Geneva Bible.... yet we still somehow ended up using the KJV... Martin |

"Criminology: Theories, Patterns, and Typologies" by Larry J. Siegel I had forgotten I had it. I bought it to read back around 1995 (didn't finish it as a few months later I started working on my teacher certificate) - it's the Sixth Edition with was published in 1995. Flipping through the pages it looks fairly up-to-date - with maybe the exception of events since 9/11.... looking on amazon, I see that it's now in it's 9th edition (dang... $113!! think I only paid about $45 for the one I have - new.... talk about highway robbery....)

You might want to watch at least the first 20 minutes of that movie..... Talking about some biting social commentary.... Martin What type of example does Pappy set?

wrote: Eh... Recall the summer I was 14, having to walk home from downtown Baltimore because the money was gone, eaten up by the pinball machines, and other such nonsense, even carfare money. To get to my white lower middle class 'hood, it was necessary to walk thru the poorest ghetto in town. No one bothered me; did it many times, even at night. Fast fwd. 10 years, in that same ghetto, I dodged firebombs and rocks while serving in the Army Natl. Guard during the MLK riots. Still, there were quite a few areas of the city that were still livable and civilized. Even well into the 1970s when I went rural, there were livable areas. It wasn't until 1984 that my parents gave it up. They tolerated the insults, youths grabbing their crotches when they passed, auto vandalism, theft of porch furniture, and two attempted burglaries. But when two elderly ladies on their block were raped, one in daylight on her front steps, they joined in white flight. At age 63, they didn't want to uproot from the old 'hood where they raised their two boys, but felt that they had no choice. |
