They Just Don’t Get It

The premise of this story Freakonomics is about seven years old, but the moral remains the same.  As a clear leader, I will never waiver in my belief that all human beings are made for a great purpose.  Mr. Levitt (the University of Chicago ecconomist in the WSJ article), sadly, misses this reality.  The idea (abortion reduces crime by keeping unwanted children from being born) is based on pure statistics and nothing more.  You know what they say about statistics…

Don’t forget, you were born for a purpose.  I for one am glad you were born, because I know there is something in you that will change the world…for the better. 

Maybe Mr. Levitt will understand this one day.  Life is bigger than statistics!
