the disadvantages of unregulated medicine

[Igor Loving]

Crime in the countryside seems to be less than crime 
in the metro areas. Population has something to do 
with it I am sure. The lack of jobs, poverty and a 
lack of any sort of real system of control other 
than that of the people themselves. Once displaced
the people are on their own. In the village they 
have family and that has a mediating effect. 

I would have never considered vandalism or theft at 
home in Round Rock because everyone knew me and my 
parents and grandparents but I could paint the 
Georgetwon football field blue or burn RR into it 
with impunity unless the Georgetowners caught me at 
which point they beat the shit out of me.

Of course in war zones crime is a lot more probable 
such as in the south of Mexico. Lots of  people with 
guns seem to give the carriers of guns more importance 
and they use their guns and such as a way to get a 
few dollars or a lot of dollars. 

I was robbed three times in Bogota, Colombia and 
never worried much about it. Getting shot was always a 
concern  but the same guy robbed me each time until 
the time I told him I was pretty tired of it, and lets 
go have a beer to which he agreed and I was never 
robbed again by that fellow.
