I'm sorry I implied your statement was ignorant... Julius Caesar, as the ruler of possibly the most powerful empire ever in history, by nature of his position, has more insight into social matters than you or I ever will. And if you think about what he is saying for a moment, you will realize, that it is in essence, a condemnation of the state of Rome. Rome itself, could only be blamed for crime, because Rome could not keep the people out of poverty... Imagine that you rule the most powerful nation on earth, and when I say rule, I mean, RULE, not REPRESENT.... Imagine that, and then imagine how tempting it would be to behave like Stalin, just send the criminals to Siberia... Stalin was a fool, Caesar on the other hand, at least had the intelligence to see how his nation was flawed, and for me, when a person in that heady position, is driven to such self-assessing insight, I can only assume there is some truth in that insight.
