I don't recall ever claiming to be an authority in either economics or criminology. I was just standing up for my own beliefs in what I thought was an A and B conversation. C your way out. My credentials are hard-earned, I guarantee you that though. I mean, I only have one Masters, not two. But I do hold three different degrees, but admittedly not in economics or poli sci or criminology. I personally don't give a crap where you work or what you do, but don't go putting me down to make yourself look smart, Bud.
