[edit] Tough questions

Has anyone yet asked the questions "Where do these people come from?" and "Would this happen at all if the entire population were to be continually screened by the Military?

In making the statement "Give us your poor and your starving masses." where did anyone think the starving masses came from, another planet?

Is there another 'force' here working continually - against - the people of the planet which prevents us from regulating the planet effectively?

Does this have anything to do with 'religion'?

Why does the word 'crime' exist at all? --Ian Chattan 09:31, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Lotta interesting questions, Ian, but mostly without any direct answers. The "starving masses" presents, "there is opportunity here" but at that time travel and communication were much less than today. The term, "rehabilitation" has only to do with restoration (to normal operating condition) and doesn't mention religion. The word "crime" exists to communicate with, it is a subject that comes up in various ways through most societies. Some way of communicating in the area is wanted and the word "crime" seemed useable. So there you go, if it wasn't that word it would be some word because people want to communicate in the area. Terryeo 21:37, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Ian, Terryeo - you two should read up on hucksters, travelling medicine shows, P.T. Barnum and the like. Lord knows there's little difference between that old time stuff and what you're shilling. It'd help that little act of yours flow a little more naturally & seem a little less obvious and you might even get in a few more suckers. LamontCranston 16:09, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
