        There is much discussion about the best way to deal with the problem
        of urban unrest and rioting.  Some say it is more important to use all
        available force to maintain law and order -- no matter what results.
        Others say it is more important to correct the problems of poverty and
        unemployment that give rise to the disturbances.

        Where would you place yourself on this scale, or haven't you thought
        much about this?  (7-POINT SCALE SHOWN TO R)
