No Jim. I grew up surrounded by that "criminal welfare society". Did you?

And by my rough estimate it would have been 10 - 25% of the total (depending
on where it was) that acted like you describe the whole lot.

I grew up in that, joined the Marines, picked up Electronics, then worked my
way through Engineering School during the day while working the swing shift
at Tektronix as an Electronic Tech at nights.

Yeah, tell me how corrupt and depraved I am. And quite a few of the people
that grew up with me.

Quite a few of the other ones are dead or in Prison still. And most, from
the ones I didn't lose track of, are not.
