That makes sense ElM. Civilization is pretty good compared with living among criminals. NZ has gone a bit Brazilian - got too anti-authoritarian and tolerant and forgot that criminals still have to be controlled and the younger the are controlled, the better. Crime is at high levels now. The USA got tougher a while a decade or two ago and started locking criminals up where they have trouble committing more crimes. Now in NZ, penalties for some crimes have gone up. But a lot more and earlier penalties would teach criminals to behave. Living in Belgium was quite authoritarian, but it was very pleasant to live there. Nasty types would soon be punished and put back in line. In England, too many people got away with crime. Mqurice
