Good Job guys...I will catch you next Wednesday.
Troy, I still do not hear you state anything to the public about the Convoy of Hope Baltimore (http://www.convoybaltimore.org), which is what people need to see and hear, that help is on the way and that people do care.
One of the problems that we are having in this City (which I love by the way) is that there is not enough presence of young popular leaders promoting acts of kindness. If there is no money in it, no one wants it or wants to talk about it.
When this spills over into the streets.
The message becomes: Why should I make it my responsibility? I'm gonna mines regardless?
You were right about the history but there are great people in this city who are looking for leadership with the power and the authority to make change.
It is very disheartening to see many leaders images crushed publicly. This does not help our children but instead leaves them with very little to look forward to.
A public official is more likely to get a longer sentence in the news for a rumor of crime than a acutal person who is found guilty of a crime.
Go figure
The word stimulus was taught to me in grade school by my teacher who felt that crime and other types of negative behavior was a part of this nations economy and infrastructure.
At that time, we as kids did not have a clue as to what the teacher was talking about.
It will always be Human Nature to survive because people did not ask to be born, they were chosen to be brought to life and thus the early beginnings of life are the responsibility of their earliest teachers (parent, community, educators, church, leadership...etc.) otherwise they are forced to do as they see.
People who produce negative behaviors did not all start off as bad people.
