>>Personally, I'd move.
What do you do, when it gets down to "no where to move to"?
At some point, people need to make a stand.
Even the Dutch are making more of one than we are. I left LA right after the riots, because you can't make a stand alone, and everybody else was so bloody concerned about trying to "understand" the rioters and looters.
People in the area have "frog in the kettle" syndrome - the adage that a frog that jumps into a kettle of cold water won't jump out if the water is heated slowly enough, and will eventually boil to death.
I remember the LA Times used to print "The Weekend Toll" on Monday's, totaling up the number of gang murders over the weekend. It started out in single digits, and steadily escalated to 22, when it just stopped being news, and no longer showed up on the front page. What decent residents in LA now put up with as just "Hey...life in LA", is intolerable and untenable for a civilized society.
THANK you!!!!!!!
