Default OT----Opinions requested on a moral dillema

Harold,

I hate to rain on your parade, but in reality, being in any group
greater than three creates a situation in which most people are less
likely to act in the face of a wrong that they witness (cite:
"Influence: application and practice") so, pointing out that someone is
from a heavily populated area and hense has been "desensitized" makes
no sense. Do Missouri meth producers get away with what they do
because they are located in the Ghetto? Well, probably not, because
they are almost all in Rural areas. So, why don't those good country
folk turn in their drug producing neighbors, if the size of the town
determines the morals of the inhabitants? Well, one thing has nothing
to do with the other, of course, and you're simply vomiting words onto
the screeen.

Come up with a reasoned line of argument, or stop sucking up bandwidth
that could be used for processing power to cure cancer.

Perhaps you're right, but I was thinking of the studies some time ago
(sorry, no cites. Just recalling what I saw on TV) where white rats were
kept in heavy concentration. As they became more and more overpopulated,
they became very aggressive towards one another. I certainly didn't
intend for the comment to be negative towards any specific group. Just a
suggestion that those that live in heavy populations may get desensitized to
such things. Sort of a "not my problem" kind of attitude. Dunno.

Have to laugh at your suggestion that the band width in question might be
solving cancer. Anyone smart enough to do that isn't reading the stupid
things I post. :-)
