There might be a better spin on the "hyperactive monkeys" analogy
about urban youth (though I hate any animal analogies about people
especially about minorities). Awhile back they did experiments on
normally calm rats (and also monkeys, I believe). Crowding them
together led to a dramatic rise in anti-social behavior. So one
might conclude that the problem is not the rats or the monkeys but
their environment.
Unfortunately, the political & intellectual establishments, including
Mr. Bill, don't follow that interpretation. But it's a point against
them.
