Why do not psychopaths seem to care, and on the other hand, why do
healthy people care of what is good to others?

Why is that "bullshit"? My buddy works for a company that actually helps communities get STARTED with these types of programs here in Seattle. Last time i checked, Seattle had a lower crime rate then Vallejo.

Dont under-estimate the power of youth programs. Some of these kids have no where to turn and gangs are the first ones to recruit. Gotta cut em off somewhere.


This is true. Community Programs do have a measurable positive influence.


If anyone is interested in the subject of the decline of American society based on civic engagement and strength of community, I would highly recommend this book...




Few people outside certain scholarly circles had heard the name Robert D. Putnam before 1995. But then this self-described "obscure academic" hit a nerve with a journal article called "Bowling Alone." Suddenly he found himself invited to Camp David, his picture in People magazine, and his thesis at the center of a raging debate. In a nutshell, he argued that civil society was breaking down as Americans became more disconnected from their families, neighbors, communities, and the republic itself. The organizations that gave life to democracy were fraying. Bowling became his driving metaphor. Years ago, he wrote, thousands of people belonged to bowling leagues. Today, however, they're more likely to bowl alone:

Television, two-career families, suburban sprawl, generational changes in values--these and other changes in American society have meant that fewer and fewer of us find that the League of Women Voters, or the United Way, or the Shriners, or the monthly bridge club, or even a Sunday picnic with friends fits the way we have come to live. Our growing social-capital deficit threatens educational performance, safe neighborhoods, equitable tax collection, democratic responsiveness, everyday honesty, and even our health and happiness.
