A buddy of mine sent me a late Christmas Present. It's a book called "Freakanomics".

It is by far and away the one of THE best books of all time, in regards to our society, money, and how the collective psyche in this country has become what it is.

I can tell you all without a doubt that it changed my perspective on a great many things, and I encourage EVERYONE to read it.

They discuss who was directly responsible for the greatest reduction in crime, EVER.

It wasn't putting more cops on the street, it wasn't funding a ton of crap, it wasn't the war on drugs, nor was it prosperity. It was actually making abortion legal that caused crime to drop.

Children who are raised in adverse conditions, are 10 times more likely to become criminals than children who grow up in stable homes with both parents.

The people who more likely to get an abortion, are people who are statistically more likely to either be criminals themselves, or be terrible parents.

There's so much in that book, but the issue of politics, is REALLY interesting. There's a reason why incumbents always seem to get re-elected, and it's not because they're doing a good job, it's because people believe that since they won once, that they'll win again, and the people always want to vote for a WINNER, or a sure thing, therefore, they never get out of the two party rut.

Lots and lots of this sort of stuff in the book.
