I hope the PEACE Foundation and MAD DADS can find some issues that they can work together on.
Editorial: Crime/MAD DADS show they care September 20, 2004 ED0920A On the plus side, these MAD DAD patrols represent the best of America -- ordinary citizens who care so much about our community that they're willing to confront drug dealers, gang members and a recent uptick in localized violence. On the minus side, it's tragic that poverty and a multitude of social pathologies persist so stubbornly, even in a small corner of an otherwise thriving city, state and nation. A visitor from afar would surely marvel at America's tolerance for the economic inequality, social hopelessness and cultural depravity that turns promising kids into common thugs. http://www.startribune.com/stories/561/4987183.html Shawn Lewis, Field Neighborhood -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm REMINDERS: 1.
