Present 1.


As introduced by Don, incarceration and arrest figures supported by explanatory narration.
All illustrated in various graphical formats. However not all line, pie and bar graphs, divergence from those formats promoted consideration of the training people outside the Central American federal agency who compiled the information would want.  For detail comprehension statistical analysis seems a prerequisite, this concluded after a second viewing of this presentation.  Who other than a statistician would know what " correlation rate" means.

The presenter brought to members attention the part played by current genetic discovery of
the MAO A gene.  He the presenter, referred to academic papers by contributors to provide
explanation to America's social predicament.  Also countries on the other side of the
Atlantic don't mirror what seems unique to the US.  Similar (if not the same) society groups
presented -- numbering four -- in this doco., do not trend the same elsewhere.  Trends represented demographically, reactions of people to environment according to race as a demarcation of criminality; ASC members and I who viewed this, could only comprehended i.e., trends of behaviour,  From the accompanying sound file little by way of surprise voiced.

To summarise the presentation:- Presenter addresses reason for graphical anomalies over  
                                                    about four decades.

                                                   - Graphs of various compilation.

                                                   - Criminality and IQ
                             
                                                   - Gene MAOA R1/R2 (Warrior gene) its relationship to man    
                                                      conduct.


The presenters conclusion, firmly held opinion promoted ...

You might care listen via podcast to the first 2016 Boyer Lecture Sir Michael Marmot which
was first heard on radio recently.  It would appears to complement this ASC presentation and might
by the Lecturer's conclusion, provide alternative ideas on the subject of criminality and
violence by perpetrator(s) and as per victim(s).          

[Edit. One thing to mention where there's information pertaining to Australia is to be
found online.  Don and myself time wanting ... supplementary comment by inclusion in the
sound files would have given this present a relevance regrettably lost.]

Present 2.

"When money is socialised, assets become privatised" and therefore there are no "free
market" of note worthiness.  A discourse on debt and money creation at the same time to
stem inflation of the "hyper" kind.  A concise and revealing interplay between the FDR and
banks of substantial standing, how in the circumstance the $US has survived, but as put
by the presenter FOR HOW LONG!  Debts attributed to government and those so called
"Unfunded" are inconceivably large, beyond what the American tax paying (and other) public
can come up with to extinguish DEBT.

COMMENT.  A short well delivered address on the subject, conforming with other economic
commentators, those Don has over time introduced to the club.
