- Here's *that* old line of reasoning again, muddying cause and effect.
-
- Corollary:
- L.A. has some of the strictest pollution control laws in the nation.
- Do *you* think they've worked? It's the most polluted city in the country!
-
- *Of course* LA is better off because of their pollution controls; it would
- be like Mexico City if the laws weren't there.
-
- Maybe gun laws reduce crime, maybe they don't. But don't use these old
- fallacious arguments, please?
