I don't like government interfering with my life in any way, but it's going to and will continue to do so unless we have a full-blown revolution. We need a full blown revolution. But it need not be violent.
It happened in the former USSR. It can happen here. But it will not happen if conservatives keep signing on to "programs". They are surrendering without even realizing it.
Below is another interesting article about this topic.
And, keep in mind what I mentioned in my post #108 -- this "All Pro Dad" program is actually NOT government funded. It is non-profit from an outside organiztion, supported by private business, and government ENDORSED, meaning: Gov Bush doesn't mind mentioning it at a press conference (since the media publishes every word he speaks). FL is also encouraging FL school superintendents to consider it, abnd FL is linking it on the FL Dept of Ed web site along with OTHER programs.
But, again -- check out what black leaders are saying about black youth in Milwaukee:
Milwaukee's black leaders say the enemy is within -- July 4, 2005, Reuters via myway news. Excerpt:
MILWAUKEE (Reuters) - Two days before the oldest and best-known U.S. civil rights group holds its yearly convention in Milwaukee, black leaders in the city say
their community is being torn apart from the inside.
"Back then, the enemy was clear, it was white racists, and racist police officers," said
McKinney, who was a black teen-age "commando" in the 1960s and now runs a tavern once frequented by fellow activists.
Civil rights leaders like 57-year-old Prentice McKinney, who fought to free Milwaukee's blacks from the ghetto, say gangs, drugs and violence have left those who still live in the nation's urban cores
in fear of the next generation. "It was a legalized system of segregation. And so, the challenge was between the white establishment and the African-American population.
Today, the African-American population is being destroyed by its own youth ... an enemy from within."
"You have a population of older African-Americans ... who are now afraid of the children in their neighborhoods," McKinney said.
Milwaukee, with 583,624 residents, 37 percent of whom are black, is the country's 22nd-largest city.
