[QUOTE="witzend, post: 318257, member: 99"] I think we have lost several generations with our blood lust for retaliation. We allowed drugs into our families, and told people they would be safe if we could build and fill the jails. We stopped paying school taxes, and we stopped teaching birth control, and we stopped providing medical and mental health care. We ended up with a lot of poor uneducated children with no way to earn a living, hooked on and selling drugs, raising more children into the same circumstances. I also think that some kids are terribly attracted to the dangerousness of these people's lives, and that they fall into the same hole the others are in. I agree with Going North. Some of these children and adults and their families may be lost to us forever. It's what we bought and paid for. So long as we keep blaming segments of society and pretending that they are not worth as much as the rest of us, it will keep happening. [/QUOTE]
