PPS: NPR today did a story today on a Chicago Priest who is Flying the American Flag upside down (a distress signal) to call attention to the 36 Chicago Public School Children (all minorities) who have been murdered this year.

The Priest's point: If these were white children the hue an cry to fix this problem would be deafening.

My point: This is what you get when you raise male children without Fathers or other positive role models. You can grow up right despite being poor if you've got a guiding figure.

This assumes of course the Father had a Father.

This is the back side of welfare that doesn't get much ink.
