Yes, I read what you said. Most communities that are crime ridden can be fixed with minor tweaks, but people that are obviously capable of understanding and implementing those tweaks are rarely elected. I was betting on you voting for someone for other reasons. And statistically, I'm probably right.
Still, by your logic, over half of the US is responsible for 9/11. We voted in Reagan and Bush1 (and to a certain extent Clinton), and it was their policies which we were well aware of at the time that spurred the remnants of the Mujahideen to come back to bite us. We voted in men that we knew were going to exploit the Middle East. And no one really did much to stop our foreign policy in the ME.
