We need to admit that no matter how much we educate ourselves, we will still have crime, and no matter how good we get at dispelling ignorance, we will not be able to change human nature.

Even when we are informed, communicating well and are aware of the consequences, we still choose to do wrong/Benjamin Ledford, UI Argonaut. More here.

Question: Do you believe in the concept of sin?
