Sounds like the kind of thing young car thieves get schooled in while they are being "rehabilitated" . Of course, never underestimate the dim-bulb factor in the criminal mind. Watching "Cops" or getting tasered doesn't seem to alter the behavior of a substantial portion of the "differentially socialized" ( which I think is the politically correct term ) so I would think this piece of intelligence is safe in the heads of those who have no other pieces of intelligence <g>

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
