Well, Michelle, while I resprct what you are doing with yer life, I think you would benefit from some sociology courses above the 200 level... Maybe then you might be less accusatory and little more enlightened about the behaviors of inner city black kids that come from one parent homes and growing up in very violent environments...

I'm not excusing any one's behavior but certainly would like to see like a Marshall Plan for America's inner cities... What we are doing now surely isn't working...

No bash, just fact...

Yeah, I could rattle off on on my patented Bobert "Ten Point Plans" but without the general will to fund them, why???

This is a problem of "me-ness & mine"... The United States once had that vision and was moving in that direction but it's leadership was assasinated by folks who had no aopparent motives for killing these folks... Yeah, just Bobby Kennedy and Dr, King would have taken America to the "Promised Land" but we know what happened to them... Ever since it has been the corporations and righties who have had the microphone, the media and,by golly, theu ain't gonna let no uppity niiga 'er commie get hold of that microphone ever again....

Yeah, it's easy to say that the other guys ain't got any ideas when you own the media and microphone... Makes it real tough changinf folks misconceptions when all they hear is one side of the story...

But, hey, we certainly have the best democracy that money can buy...
