Reply #31: When I was a kid...

the big fasion among minority teenagers was zoot suits. A lot of old white people got upset about it. "Oh, it's a terrible waste of fabric!," they'd say. "Something should be done about it!" they'd say. Shit, there were even riots about it. I didn't see what the big deal was. Still don't. Nor do I see any fundamental difference between that, or wearing long hair, or wearing your baseball cap backwards, or sticking foil on your teeth. It's kids being kids.

"If they go home tonight, one or more utilities is likely to be turned off when they arrive. It would be good to have a discussion about that."

Yeah, how about raising the minimum wage for one, eh? And strengthening equal opportunity laws. And investing in the inner city.
