We really are sliding into third-world status arent’ we? It seems that many urban areas have achieved that status and will be much more noticeable once they exhaust their legacy infrastructure.

Actually, I see possibilities in this plan...

What if...
Each of us ATE just one Progressive?

We would solve:
*the US political crisis...
*world hunger...
*overpopulation...

probably too much of the ‘bad’ cholesterol though...

Related to legacy infrastructure -- I've grown up with a golden stereotype of traditional African American families. They are large and extended. Grandparents feature prominently. They have big family reunions and parties -- someone always brings out an old Count Basie album and people dance, someone else has a rib recipe which has been in the family for generations. Lots of good times and good memories. In movies, such scenes often have a motown soundtrack.

The media has been showing me this sort of wholesome African American family for decades.

I'm sure that this stereotype has roots in reality and that this is a reality that is lived by some people today. But I think in the inner cities, this is a reality for very few people. Families? Happiness? Bonding? Traditional? Role models?

I think that is mostly all gone now, and I think the next generation will be exponentially worse.

Zombie time is coming and, yes, they will eat your brains.
