Would you agree that the Fed has apparently conquered the problem of
inflation? I don't know how we got started talking about the Fed, but I
think they deserve some praise for that.

I didn't mean it like that, but as an observation of human nature. Analogous
to the tendency for abused children to be cruel to animals, a subculture
that is destitute and has no upward mobility gravitates towards crime and
violence. I think the main bone of contention, which we must agree to
disagree on, is whether this particular subculture experiences any real
degree of upward mobility if not for AA. By the way, I read your other post
where you explain your beliefs. Out of respect for your request, I will not
debate your position. But I'd like to say, I'm honestly afraid of people who
express the belief in the "white man's burden". I'm comforted to know that
enough whites in America disagree with that point of view that AA does, in
fact, exist for now.
