These maps show nothing other than the correlation between democrats living in urban areas and republicans preferring more rural environments while also showing the link between population density and violence.
Of course murder rates are going to be higher in cities, there are more people. That's just an objective fact.
Another objective fact is that the political affiliation of people living in cities tends to be democratic whereas rural areas are more likely to be a majority republican. (I'm making sweeping generalizations as is your post).
I support change, but this argument needs data that shows more than the correlation between two variables that don't impact one another.
my post didn't say ANYTHING...I only posted a pretty picture.
all the generalization come from within your mind.
You can tell yourself that but your picture leads everyone directly to those generalizations.
well DUH!
there might be a reason then...you reckon?
There might be a reason, yes. You're right. But the reason IS NOT that democrats live in these areas and republicans don't.
that would be an uncomfortable thought eh? For dhmikrats..
