This is a serious problem, I know diferrent parents of two dead kids.

There was a time in rural communities when local manufacturing plants provided entry level jobs and training to low skilled youth, community colleges provided vocational and technical training, and churches provided moral direction and social activities. Our governing elites chose to sent the factories overseas, eliminate vocational training in community colleges and turn them into 2 year college prep schools, and discourage participation in organized religion.
