I am very sorry to hear about your friend, Phil.

Thanks.

You can not imagine how sorry that it is made real in my mind that Crack Cocaine is such a big element among a certain underclass in American society. It is part of the same complaint I made to you about how this certain underclass is also put down by the barriers against its youngsters being able to obtain an education.
.
We live in a bureaucratized society in which each role requires training and education. When young children are left out in the cold regarding opportunities for happiness due to no fault of their own, we--you and I--are the ones that are held responsible. "In so much as you do it unto the least of these, you do it unto me."
.
I'm telling you that Bush's veto on the S-CHIP bill is an example of our failure to secure a better opportunity for these "least" among us. I am a caucasoid male; but, I still recognize how an under-classed sub-culture is being developed just as surely as you have a nose on your face. I don't have any idea how big the Crack Cocaine industry is; but, it must be enormous at the rate it was able to suck nearly $30,000.00 out of this poor bastard's pockets.
.
Something must be done. What can we do when our government sloughs off this most important priority that belongs to our society?
.
Getting down where these people live is an eye opener to great terror that exists in our nation. We cannot continue to blame the victims.
