Re: In today's news...
Research tends to indicate that the most successful ways to reduce violence are to provide social programs: Aid for the ill and mentally unwell, food for the hungry, shelter for the homeless, etc. However I have recently been told all these things are communism, which is bad. People seem to prefer the state mandated control of firearms and police everywhere, which is closer to fascism. Which is good, I guess? I don't know anymore. News makes my head hurt.
