What root causes should be addressed to deal with rapists? Good question. I don't have the answers. Well, there's one problem a liberal will admit is not addressable by treating the root causes, whatever the heck they may be. Canada has as much gun ownership as the US, but the US has 17 X more gun murders per capita. So Moore, who is a lifetime NRA member, says the NRA bumper sticker should be changed, the new one should be: "Guns Don't Kill People. Americans Kill People." Well, that sounds like evidence that public gun ownership isn't a problem. Watch out there - that's not the usual liberal take on that subject. Canada sounds like a nice country. Should be - rich in natural resources, low population, no need to spend much on defence since the only country they border is the US, which isn't a threat to them and in fact shelters them under its defence umbrella. As a fiscal conservative that's a quandry for me, who thinks gov't is 50% overfunded. What I need to know are the facts and figures on how Canada makes "help each other" work, how work ethic isn't lost, and budgets balanced. "Dependent on DC" is a good guide on how not to spend money in the US. I have yet to run across as good analysis of wasted spending, useless programs. There is just too much of it, but if there were full transparency in DC and politicians were force to be honest under threat of felony, I expect a trillion or so would be discovered annually. The US gov't is just too powerful, and attracts and distributes too much of the economy, all the power resides in DC, and none out here in with the citizenry. Sounds like the most liberal thing about you may be thinking Michael Moore is funny.
