People aren't burning houses down for crack until they are so strung out that the only way they can get it is to steal. That's my point. Their tendency is to act voluntarily.

I've seen plenty of people steal for drugs not strung out, it is obvious from your combattance of the "sheltered life" criticism that you have in fact lived a sheltered life. Selling quarters, xanax, or oxycottin in high school in no way means you've definitely seen the real world. Go to Magnolia street in NO, walk around and see how many people act in a mutually beneficial way. Go to Wall Street and start trading and see how many people cancel your trades because you lost money and it wouldn't be mutually beneficial. Hell go to any sales job in the world and ask the top sales rep in the area to let you take some of his clients. People win. People lose. That's life. The only time you'll see people act in a mutually beneficial way is against a common enemy, which naturally is trying to take some sort of resource from them. Then when the threat is gone people do not continue to act in a mutually beneficial way. Any study on history pre, during, and post war should've taught you this.

With the Austrian school conversation I could slightly follow your reasoning even though it was obvious you were regurtating pre-packaged information, but this shite is just so oblivious to the world that I'm just shell shocked.
