So what are your feelings on the topic today as far as crime in America today?
B
Well, I think some of the blame can be placed on plea bargaining and people getting less time and not serving any of the, or a lot less of the,

time than they're --
A
Yeah.

-- given by the court system, but, I don't know, with the economy the way it is, I think crime can't do much but go up.

No, I have to, I have to agree with you. I had occasion a couple years ago to hear the r-, s-, Chief of Police of Richardson, Texas speak and, you know, it's a shame, a, a criminal today, not a murderer, but a guy that breaks in houses and steals things and, you know, he does this and he does this for a couple of years, hides all the stash and works off of it and then when he gets caught, he'll be sentenced to something like five to seven years, but he gets five days credit for every day he serves. I mean, it's like a bonus to go to jail.
