I do believe you are missing the point that Mr. Lloyd Jones and other 'out of the box' thinkers are committed to do. I as my user name indicates extremely have reaped the benefit of this out of the box thinking. Many years ago I was on the path of poverty, crime and a minimal education. Lloyd placed me on the path of success.Today I am a manager at a Marketing agency. I have a BS degree in Public Relations/Communications, 3 certifications and I sit on the board of my son's PTA. I own my own home and I am married. Without leaders in our community who think outside box children such as myself would not have had the opportunity for a successful life. Karate, Football, a Rock band, a hip hop group- whatever the outlet to release stress, channel enegry and avoid the negative home and street life enviorment is what should be encouraged. Lloyd isnt JUST teaching kids how to fight: he is teaching kids about life, educating them on their options and planting the seed for their dreams to come true. We have to stop waiting on the government to rescue our falling cities and nation. It is up to US to help eachother! sincerely yours!
