I'm glad that the writer published this article. It's high time that somebody shed light on whose fault it really is that these people are in the situation they're in. It's not their fault that they're selling drugs, that they're standing in their yard using illegal drugs, that they have felony convictions and nobody will hire them, that they're murdering people. It's always somebody else's fault, and that's why their circumstances will never change.


Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! - Patrick Henry
