My life is back!...Testimony On How My Ex Come Back.<br />My life is back!!! After 2 years of Broken marriage, my husband left me with two kids . I felt like my life was about to end i almost committed suicide, i was emotionally down for a very long time. Thanks to a spell caster called Dr Mako, which i met online. On one faithful day, as I was browsing through the internet,I came across allot of testimonies about this particular spell caster. Some people testified that he brought their Ex lover back, some testified that he restores womb,cure cancer,and other sickness, some testified that he can cast a spell to stop divorce and so on. i also come across one particular testimony,it was about a woman called Sonia,she testified about how he brought back her Ex lover in less than 2 days, and at the end of her testimony she dropped Dr Mako's e-mail address. After reading all these,I decided to give it a try. I contacted him via email and explained my problem to him. In just 48hours, my husband came back to me. We solved our issues, and we are even happier than before Dr Mako, is really a gifted man and i will not stop publishing him because he is a wonderful man...

However, President Obama has increased the crime rate in big cities by supporting Black Lives Matter group and by policies discouraging blacks from joining the working world. I fear that a Presdient Hillary Clinton will continue these sorts of policies thta do so much harm to inner city blacks. In particular, minimum wage, attacks on police, and encouraging immigration.<br /><br />As you can see, I've become cynical about government. I expect more harm than good from each new President.

Nobody knows how a lead reduction would affect crime in terms of timing. It's conceivable that the lead reduction contributed to the crime reduction, but nobody knows for sure, and nobody knows how significant a factor lead was.<br /><br />Look at the crime rate by year at http://www.disastercenter.com/crime/uscrime.htm<br /><br />Total crimes per year more than quadrupled between 1960 and 1989, yet total lead couldn't have gone up very much. (Recall that gas milage was dramatically improving during that period.) The crime rate fell between 1990 and 1914, when lead was also falling. But, other changes were occurring as well. In particular, longer sentences for major crimes.<br /><br />Violent crime is again on the rise in many large cities, in the last couple of years. This particular increase has nothing to do with lead.David in Calhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222355423128534221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-11923512560088393452016-08-01T19:17:19.612-04:002016-08-01T19:17:19.612-04:00Crime fell in the 90s because leaded gasoline was ...Crime fell in the 90s because leaded gasoline was phased out in the 70s.

Has that been the central premise of Trump's disordered campaign?"<br /><br />We'd have to agree with Mr. Somerby and say no. The central premise to his speech and campaign can be found in the middle of the piddling Quiz offered by Gail Collins in her column:<br /><br />"Donald Trump told reporters that the message America should take away from the Republican convention was:<br /><br /><br />A. “The Obama administration has a deeply flawed foreign policy.” <br /><br />B. “Doom, despair, darkness, disaster.”<br /><br />C. “The fact that I’m very well liked.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-15532859899995330332016-08-01T13:15:20.112-04:002016-08-01T13:15:20.112-04:00Actually, I was very good actuary. I agree with yo...Actually, I was very good actuary. I agree with you that establishing causation is difficult. It's conceivable that the recent increase in crime might be due to sharply increased heroin use (if there was such a sharp increase.)<br /><br />However, it is sadly possible to do a statistical analysis of crime rates within a single large city, because there are so many violent crimes. Even murders alone can be statiscially significant.<br /><br />E.g., St. Louis had 113 and 120 murders in 2012 and 2013 respectively. There were 188 murders in 2015 and 105 murder in the partial year 2016 (through July 26.) An increase of 60 or 70 murders is a statistically significant figure.David in Calhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222355423128534221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-25894515863597232262016-08-01T12:04:30.223-04:002016-08-01T12:04:30.223-04:00A strong case can be made that the recent increase...A strong case can be made that the recent increase in crime is related to the increase in the use of heroin in large cities, which in turn is related to the over-prescription and abuse of pain medications. <br /><br />As an actuary and someone familiar with statistics, you know that measures of central tendency, such as national murder rates, cannot be meaningfully compared with individual values, such as murder rates for individual cities (large or small). These values will fluctuate even when the national trend is downward.<br /><br />So, either you are not a very good actuary or you are deliberately signing on to a bankrupt conservative argument that involves misuse of statistics. Isn't that in conflict with the ethical standards of your profession?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-36804405322786468032016-08-01T11:58:54.844-04:002016-08-01T11:58:54.844-04:00"National crime statistics," including t...<i>"National crime statistics," including the murder rate, are vastly lower than they were in the early 1990s, Krugman correctly said. </i><br /><br />Many Dems are using this fact as an excuse, when Republicans point out reversal of this trend in many cities in the last year or two. <br /><br />I call this an excuse, because those who make this claim don't go where their fact ought to take them. They ought to be asking <i>why</i> the crime rate fell during the last 25 years. They ought to ask what policies created the drop in crime. They ought to be pledging to retain and enhance those policies.<br /><br />A strong case can be made that the drop in crime was caused by putting serious criminals in prison longer. Yet, the Dems (and many Republicans) are supporting a bill to shorten sentences and to release criminals from prison. <br /><br />Maybe long prison sentences aren't needed in order to keep down the level of crime. But, I haven't seen any claim that this is so nor any analysis demonstrating why this is so.<br /><br />David in Calhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222355423128534221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-59435396597095760722016-08-01T11:14:41.038-04:002016-08-01T11:14:41.038-04:00From what I've been reading at conservative we...From what I've been reading at conservative websites, many are supporting Trump because they don't want to see Clinton elected.
