The author claims that these problems are trivial and thus do not merit the legislature s- 1 7 1 valuable time. To support this claim the author circs a current plague of .1 crime and violence in this nation s cities. At first glance this argument might sound appealing closer scrutiny however reveals numerous flaws that considered together completely undermine the argument. To begin with the argument relies on the unlikely assumption that the plague of crime and violence in cities also poses 3 problem in this legislature s region. Based on the editorial this region appears to be largely rural. To the extent that it is urban-type crimes arc unlikely to pose a problem in this region and the author cannot reasonably rely merely on urban crime statistics to-support his position. Assuming for the moment that tills region is. in. fact plagued by urban-type crime and violence why shouldn t the legislature also address other less serious problems such as fruit vandalism The author supplies no evidence that the legislature has insufficient time to address both types of problems. Until the author supplies this sort of evidence he cannot convince me that the legislature s attention to fruit vandalism comes at the expense of its attention to more serious problems. Besides the author supplies no proof that the fruit stealing and vandalism problem is trivial. Even if the problem technically involves incidents of mere petty vandalism as the author suggests the problem might be so pervasive that if poses a serious threat to rhe livelihood of regional- farmers and landowners.
