Hate to tell ya', bud, but I attended an outdoor Mass in hot weather at a summer camp recently, and the kids there (white, and Catholic) dropped their water bottles on the ground like all-stars. (Though not to this degree).
I'm saying that the rot has spread farther than you think.
Ghetto is ghetto. Don’t matter the color, Bud.
The rot is all the way through the roots. The plant is dead.
