In my opinion, inner city ghettos are the biggest paradox in American
life. Having worked in several for seven years of my life, collecting
bills, I am qualified to tell you that they are filthy, vermin-ridden
areas that are populated with the most bizarre dregs of the universe. We
are talking lazy, dangerous people who routinely disregard personal safety
to live a lifestyle that, by any measure, is completely self-destructive.

And, most amazingly of all, much of this happens for NO apparent reason.
The lifestyle is a CHOICE -- it's not "put on them by the Man" or, imposed
because of "prejudice" -- or any other knee-jerk, easy explanations. In
fact, many inner city folks are incredibly intelligent people -- they just
choose to live a morally bankrupt lifestyle that must be quarantined from
the rest of society.

It's OT but always nice to hear. The Officially Sad, reproductive warriors
and hind-gut fermenters are a decent lot until you have to pay for them.
Which you do. It's odd, eh? You meet the most adorable people who are
happy to live a life of self abuse supported by others barely paying for it.
But, happy they are. On your tab. Your experience is appreciated.
