    Horetore is accusing a lot of people of anecdote abuse, but seems to be prone to it himself. I look at statistics for my country. Violent crime is the purview of minorities by dramatic margins. Does this mean that ethnicity causes it? Nope, but ignorant desperation causes it and is made worse by each action which causes the natives to recoil. Reality and engagement are needed. Maybe pre-k and kindergarten - maybe immigration quotas and background checks for coming into the country. Maybe allowing law abiding Americans to carry firearms everywhere. Far right extremism isn't the answer, but living in a Scandinavian leftist-la-la-land probably isn't either

    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
