>I understand Bennett's next radio guest will be Rush Limbaugh.

I don't think so. Bennet stated that it was a hypothetical scenario, qualified it, and then proceeded to discard it as s stupid and morally reprehensible idea. No way Rush will rush to this show.

Just because an extreme example is used, it doesn't mean that there's any doltness involved.

I read somewhere that 75% of black males between 15 and 25 years old (don't quote me on the age group) have had problems with police.

Based on the above, and assuming that it's true, Bennet's argument, regardless of its bizarreness or political incorrectness, is sound.

Here's another good exmaple (imo): if we kill all the deer in the country that would reduce the incidence of lime disease. I don't think it's a good idea, but that would be one of the results of implementing it.

Ah, a good one: If we were to nuke iraq, terrorism would be a thing of the past.

Better yet: Nuking the middle-east would really take care of the problem should the first idea fail.

Nah, those wouldn't work: Let's nuke the US and all of europe (unless they convert to islam). That would definitely take care of the problem.

Neither of the above 4 ideas are very intelligent, but there's a good chance they'd accomplish the goal.

I agree with Peter and Jim in that Bennet is being quoted out of context here.
