EH10 - ghetto culture

"The kids look at this system and conclude: "There is more money for me in a gang than at City Hall." This is a correct conclusion, until the police arrive, or a rival gang."

Gary North is the first EH columnist to hit the board twice. This piece is dead on. Instead on waiting for something to happen, we just have to make things happen, one person at a time.

Things have to change today, so read Oh, the Places You Can Go, but the eminant philosopher Dr. Seuss (one of Dr. Lenny's favorites). Remain independent, but join organizations that reward participation and effort. Use competition and cooperation to build consensus and be party to the change rather than watching from the couch. Earn responsibility and share it with people that you trust. Network within your community to provide a unique service or product and don't take crap from anyone who doesn't hold themselves personally accountable for the crap their dishing howdt.
