Where are Traditional American Values?

The link is about IDENTITY THEFT by state.  The green states are lowest on the list.  You can see that the safest states are the most politically or socially conservative: Maine, Kentucky, Idaho, etc.

If you correlate these with the states that have the best economies, you see pretty good correlation.

Some exceptions raise deeper issues.  Albuquereque is a good town for economic growth, but the state is in the middle for identity theft.  Sometimes, you cannot have a vibrant society where everyone sits down, shuts up, and does as they are told.  After all, Mercury was the god of both merchants and thieves.  A little lawlessness can be a good thing.
