"The clothes don't make the man...the values that have been taught at home do."

Thats my point completely! It starts at the home. Don't blame corporations and government for your kid being on the streets with a gun...blame yourself! Maybe if some of these PARENTS were to act like PARENTS and get off their asses and walk down to the street corner and drag lil' Jimmy home by his ear they wouldn't think they were so damn bad.
You see it with some of these athletes on TV all the time. Grew up in bad areas full of gangs but either ma or grandama would have kicked their asses if they dropped their schooling and joined the gang. It starts and ends at home! :thumbsup:
