Bennett conceded that aborting all African-American babies "would be an impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible thing to do," then added again, "but the crime rate would go down."

Yes, I see your point. Just think, if we aborted all male babies, we would achieve a similar drop in crime. :eek: Comments as you quoted are comments that I view as being made without cognitive thought. When made by public officials or public figures, they are worse.
