After reading the stats for Houston, its really kind of six of one half a dozen of the other kind of thing. If Tom Dlay was going to use any city in America for his little speech, really, he couldn't pick another city? one with a lower crime rate? fewer murders?

I guess if he had used Detroit as an example it may have been seen as "negitive reporting"
