#3 There's a hidden factor, here. The impact of legalized abortion on crime (see URL). Since not just the number of *crimes* is in decline, but the number of *criminals* is also in decline, the "lockup" percentages are actually magnified.

#7 I feel contempt for the NYT.

There. I've said it.

Moral degenerates. For each social-political issue of the day, there is a wrong side, and the NYT manages to almost ALWAYS be there.

What will it take to sink them?
