If no one buys the the drug then no one can sell it. Poverty is no excuse for crime and delinquency.In the history of our nation there were greater levels of poverty in the first 75 years of the 20th century there has been in the last 35yrs. yet crime has grown in multiples in times of plenty and we choose to use poverty and drugs as an excuse._Our value systems and morals have changed leading us down a road of societal decay and you Garth need to stop making excuses for delinquecy & the breakdown of the family unit which ultimately ends up in crime and drug addiction. Call a spade a spade.

Mrs. Springer this is utterly racist. Are you telling me that that only one song can be used to represent and uplift black women? In a rich culture like ours if that is the case then we must be in real trouble.

The culture in the ghetto is what makes the ghetto a ghetto. Move them to Westmoorings and pay them $50,000.00 per month and the result is still the same. They never took advantage of the free education system and training programs( with stipend) that the past Governments have given to them and now they are protesting for permanent jobs. They have no skills to offer and a poor work attitude. I have hired them in the past, they come to work for one week,get paid, stay home for a few days never call in to say why then turn up begging for a day work because they have no more money. They have not concept of working a regular job and saving the excess for a better life. When ever they have excess money they stay home till its done then go looking for "something" again.
