      <![CDATA[<i><br />
But we haven't the space so I will make it simple: look at this list from Forbes and look for the correrelation.<br />
</i><br />
You know what they say, though: "correrelation does not equal causation". I was never clear on what "correrelation" meant, though.<br />
But, just in case you're right, I am gonna start hating black people too.

      <![CDATA[your point about gender being a leading indicator of crime is true, but is is also true that race+gender is an even better indicator. I don't know why you would deny that, I have no problem with the fact that my gender commits most criminal acts, I don't commit them and that's what matters.

Charming, really, to think that if you haven't experienced something, it must be contrived. I bet the girls love it when you mock them for wanting someone to walk them to their cars, too.<br />
Meredith, yeah, we fixed one knee in October and need to do the other knee right now, but who has that much money in this economy?
