A lot of people have some funny ideas about rights are. Life, Liberty, Pursuit of Happiness, and 1MB Broadband access? Oh, Finland, you're doing it wrong.

When study results like this one are published, do you think that they're intentionally misleading the public or that they're simply THAT ignorant of cause and effect relationships. Bad parents let their children eat lots of candy. Bad parents raise children that commit crimes. Bad Parenting = the cause Candy = Effect #1 Crime = Effect #2 Candy is not a cause, it's an effect.
