Peter Cuthbertson at Centre Right flags a terrific George Will column with up some wonderful headlines from the New York Times:
1997 Crime Keeps on Falling, But Prisons Keep on Filling
1998 Prison Population Growing Although Crime Rate Drops
2000 Number in Prison Grows Despite Crime Reduction
2003 More Inmates, Despite Slight Drop in Crime There are few more maddening phenomena than the closed outlook of the liberal mind.
It's not cause and effect; more effect and cause. Prisons fill up, crime falls. Whodathunkit?
