Very eloquent... I whole heartedly agree!
The fact that we are all upstanding individuals (I think... I'm not so sure about some of you goons) relies heavily on the fact that our childhoods were relatively free of much of the aversive events which lead many of the people in lower socioeconomic categories to deviant and criminal behavior.
