I wish him luck...trying to instill personal responsiblity is something foreign to most today...espeically when we have the type of "pos" we have in the WH that want those that feel the need to be taken care of that that is exactly what the government is there for....

I remember reading something similar a few years ago. At an assembly, the speaker asked, "How many of you are going to be professional basketball players?" Dozens of hands went up."

"How many of you are going to be famous rappers?" Again, dozens of hands.

Then he burst their bubbles, showing them how the numbers said that somewhere between a couple and none of them would ever have any inkling of success in those or similar fields, so all but a couple of them would find themselves doing something else, so they'd better have a backup plan.

A whole lot of yutes have expectations that news to be adjusted drastically, even under the rosiest of projections.

Those are part of the crowd that stood up--the criminals, breaking the law in the name of the law.

Total waste of money. At the conclusion of their study they will realize that they spent $500,000 to tell us that pink and lavender bandannas will make the gang members less violent.
