CB, If you don't get hung up on the race item and view societal differences between Canada and the US in socio-economic terms I think it gets clearer. While the middle class makes up the majority of both countries, Canada's bottom end is much higher than the US (they still have their super rich types, but few slums). Its no secret that when the economy boomed - crime dropped dramatically. The other issue is guns - handguns. While many Canadians have guns - the vast majority are hunting rifles or shotguns. Items meant to hunt animals. We have a lot of handguns, protection to some, but from what? -> Other humans with handguns. Our acceptance of this culture in the US is strange, to say the least. I know that this will bring arguments from ardent gun supporters, but I do not see the need for handguns in the general population. A good shotgun is protection enough - and unlikely to be quite so ready for a shootout, accident or angry outburst. John
