What a waste of the power of language. I'm with Amber - we all need to just get out and talk to people. It seems like a better use of words.Corbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398238202579667140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6853635643486173008.post-41680100565817412042008-12-10T17:41:00.000-05:002008-12-10T17:41:00.000-05:00If we want to continue with Joshua's "fear everyon...If we want to continue with Joshua's "fear everyone" conclusion, I guess we should emphasize fearing our family. With the big recession we're in, there are more poor, so we should be really scared. Let's hole up in our locked houses and hide under the covers.<BR/><BR/>Or, we could realized that sometimes some people make poor choices - both on the side of those committing crimes, and on the side of those accusing.<BR/><BR/>Why don't we instead talk to people, learn their story, try to get along, and live a life moving forward. Open our doors, walk outside, and smile at neighbors and strangers.Amberlynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662434972005811311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6853635643486173008.post-41235528682454312212008-12-10T11:52:00.000-05:002008-12-10T11:52:00.000-05:00I guess the conclusion is that we should fear ever...I guess the conclusion is that we should fear everyone. I think the real determination of crime is usually poverty. Poverty causes desperation and leads to bad behavior. Also, poverty usually means poor education and upbringing, not always, but usually. Economic distress happens to all creeds, colors, nationalities, sexes, and religions. I think that is why the statistics end up fairly even.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17587705075919282650noreply@blogger.com
