They are the very same people who have kicked the can down the street in everything. It's nothing personal, but it is the mentality of that generation, and so if we don't learn from those mistakes, it's only waxing much worse when we kick the can to future generations to deal with, thus doing the exact same thing they did to get us where we are today. Nothing changes, especially our present realities, until we first change mental outlooks, and when what we see before you every day shows it didn't work, we have to at some point come to the realization that moving away from the problem isn't the answer since it follows us, and we help it follow us by building nonsense, zoning like knee jerk reactions, handing the city over to out of state companies that see us only as a red or black mark on a graph, and not caring what becomes of our city. That shite has to change if we have any hope at all of having a livable area to call home in the future. If not, expect much more of the same, and worse as it increases in intensity. That happens when as it gets worse, people move, and as it gets still worse, even more move, until it's become ghetto and we then write it off as we've been trained to, and just avoid those areas entirely, even refer to it as a different city.

Ok well you just keep your fingers crossed and keep on hoping that society will change and that the EBR school system will get better even though it hasn't in 30 years. I'll do whatever I can to ensure my kid has a better school to go to which for now is getting board with the SG breakaway. I've already signed the petition and I will continue to encourage others to do the same.
