    Tough to do as the reason some cities are so violent and regressive mostly comes down to politics.

    I believe Mr Mack is well aware of Violence as example in Baltimore. Our Dear City Hall there has been 50 plus years and very steadfast and unchanging in their resolve that all children should read and learn.

    This is my one sentance written from a grain of truth, and a helping of sarcasm because I was raised there. Sometimes I think to take a time machine and go back 60 years one more time. Prior to the Vietnam war there was very little of that drug, violence and plenty of industrial work that could support families. (And did)

    And the food. You had the whole world stop by in the shipping. So they City makes a whole world worth of feeding.

    You learned Geography by eating.

    Lemme tell ya, you've got this stuff down pat. You could be a professor of African-American studies at BYU.

    I remembered why my brother packed back in the day when he drove to Oakland.

    Another reason why I won’t go there and yet these idiots blame the system. You put yourself there not me.

    I carried a loaded crossbow ####ed everywhere I went out in the open without trying to conceal it.

    You know there was a photo years ago idk where it went was of a commerical driver he had an actual bear black and white photo couldn't tell you if it was a black bear or brown think he had it when the circus ended or something but he would have it on the road with him. I am certain something like that isn't possible but would be interesting to see that big creature coming out a truck.
