I've explored some of the reasons people make a life out of crime and terrorism. With there being many reasons it is unfortunate the solutions commonly used are ineffective... and may be making things worse.
Is poverty the cause of crime and terrorism? The answer to this question is not a simple one, but it is important to understand some of the causes because understanding the causes may help us better understand crime and terrorism.

America's Love-Hate for Truckers
Some people can't live without them, some people fear them and some see them as a polluting monster. However you feel, the fact remains, we need them.
