Why Did Jesse James Rob Banks?


Why Did Jesse James Rob Banks?

During my wife and my visit to Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and New Brunswick, we frequently heard locals say the reason why the population in their provinces is declining is the lack of opportunities for young people.  Such conversations remind me of the old saying about Jesse James: “Why do you rob banks, Jesse? – It is because there is where the money is!”
