A comedian tells us how much easier
it is to solve crime in a small town than
in a city:
"The small town sheriff asks a witness,
"Can you describe the suspect?"
"The witness says, "Yes,
I can . . . Dwayne"."
As small towns become cities, criminals become anonymous,
crimes become more
difficult to solve, and crime rates increase.
One of the false solutions to rampant population growth is
called "Smart
Growth," an oxymoron, if ever there was
one. Piling more and more people into
less and less space does nothing to solve the need for more
and more food and
more and more water--with more and more damage done to the
environment to meet
those needs. Meanwhile the quality of life for the inhabitants
of these
man-made beehives goes down for everyone . . . except for
criminals.
Would a criminal prefer to practice his profession walking down
streets of family residences with windows on all sides--some
with "Neighborhood Watch" stickers--available to observe strangers
on the streets? Or would he prefer to walk down dimly lit halls
of multi-story residence buildings where he passes only windowless
walls?
If you are concerned about crime, there is one organization
which effectively and efficiently works through our justice
system to ensure criminals are punished and law abiding citizens
are protected. To learn more about this organization, please
