I thought you lived in Scotland, Gordon. A country where the BBC reported just in 2008 ... "Crime in Glasgow 'worse than NY' - Glasgow could learn lessons from New York about how to tackle crime, according to a report by an independent think tank.The Reform Scotland report said there was now more violent crime per head of population in Glasgow than in New York. It said crime figures from 2006-07 showed for every 100,000 people there were 731.39 incidents in Glasgow compared to 631.30 in New York. It suggests following a zero tolerance policy like the American city." So, Gordon, to which country did you move? You may need to change your source of news of the U.S., Gordon. Please do not try to turn my scenario of extra law enforcement response to anything at a national level to degrade the U.S. Ain't gnna fly ...
