Still, it did have a crime rate. The ME should have "had it easy" to show some strong affects there.
Okay, funny story time. When I was in Wash, State for the Ideal Society Campaign (I think that was the name of it), we met with a reporter in our town and made the usual predictions. 1% will bring about reduction in a b & c. The reporter said, "What about the VD rate? We've been seeing a big increase in the VD rate" I said, "No problem", this will go done as well." Well, we did get 1%, and sure enough the VD rate showed a significant decline. I believe crime did as well, but the headline in the paper trumpeted the "VD Rate Down" We had been hoping for a crime reduction headline. Those were good times. We had a good group and some good nature support. Anybody know what happened to Ed Monk? He was a late addition to our group. The guy took constant notes. Whoever we met with or whatever we did, he always had his little spiral note book taking notes. lurk >
