I came across the following quote in a college magazine recently that had meaning for me. It was about rural society in south west NY state and the acts of two teenage boys who burned up a pick-up truck. "What hungry rage caused them to destroy the hard-earned property of a good man and neighbor? What wild fear caused us to incarcerate one of them, hard-bitten almost since birth, for eight years-longer than some investment bankers and securities traders who stole the savings and retirements of thousands of Americans?"
