The culture of crime and violence and righteous indignation needs to change. We need more jobs, more education, for everyone and fewer guns (no guns would be great). When individuals change for the better, societal problems melt away. Change must start with individuals - that goes for the haves as well as for the have-nots.

yesterday was the multiple dwi day. glad i missed driving. as far as the trash goes, put the garbage where it is suppose to go, not in nice neighborhoods. allowing the garbage to run free for any conceivable reason is unfathomable to me, especially at christmas. there's so much more to steal.

And liberals fuss because our criminals system is harder on African Americans. Everyday it's the same caliber of crimes done by the African American community in Baton Rouge and we are told to be ashamed and to feel guilty or called horrible names by the left and called racists in the south and in Louisiana. I guess other states would let crimes like these just go without charges and arrests. No wonder our jails are full.
