    Sure we can have a long debate about personal responsibility vs societal responsability. I would still argue that many people who grow up in 3rd world countries do no end up intrinsincly criminals by virtue of living with injustice. I just don’t think that going full “Falling Down” mode on society is warranted in advanced democracies.
