re: #305 researchok

WW, I have seen the number.

As I noted the issue of recidivism is a hot topic because of how it is calculated- each jurisdiction does so differently and mental health facilities and drug laws play a huge role.

And then there is the politics.

And yes, as you note if I am wrong I will concede the point or offer up a correction when necessary. I have never done otherwise.

I have no issue doing that- why would I?

Because of the shift in your politics, which I have great respect for, I sometimes feel the need to question something you ‘know’, because before your political shift, you believed things that you don’t now. It takes a lot of sorting through old knowledge, tossing some and keeping the rest. It’s a lot of work, and I respect your effort. Still, I want to see the source of your knowledge, because I don’t know whether the ‘new you’ has vetted it yet.
