Barb's comments were indeed very interesting, and I appreciate her thoughts. I'm
pretty stunned.
Agreed for the most part, Connie, but without being able to magically 'fix' the root
of the
problem some enforcement must be brought to bear to manage the symptoms.
I find it odd that Mr. Hodges finds this forum suitable for posting his editorials,
but can not
find the time to respond to the responses to his editorials. Is he a journalist first
or an
activist first? I think the former would tend to remain more aloof ("my work is to
inform the
public") while the latter would respond to inquiries ("my work is to inform and engage
the
public").

The activities that occur at the so-called "hood
stores," are not, I repeat NOT created by the
existence of such stores. These problems are, in my
estimation, merely one small illustration of the
plethora of larger sociological phenomena occurring in
poverty-stricken areas.
