Nah. I have little of either and I am pretty civil and well behaved.
Many of my relatives (most) come out of either newark, rural PA & pinebarrens... not a lot of cash in my ancenstry. Just hard working folk who stayed out of trouble at a greater rate than most.
Big Al Shrptn and Holder and ... have plenty of both, and they still act like D bags.
I think its mostly not having any good role models OR not valuing those htings that the rest of society does (hard work, dont break law...) followed by the lure of aggression (macho [bleep]) and easy short term $.
I could be wrong.
