It is a shame that in America, one of the wealthiest nations in the world, children are afraid to walk down the street, afraid to go to neighborhood stores, movies, parks and even to school for fear of being taunted, beat-up, abused, and even killed by hooligan boys and girls and street gangs.

    America, "The Land of Liberty, Justice, Equality, and Opportunity, unsafe for children, women, old people and anyone wishing to live a normal life. What is this? Yet, this is what is happening in the American cities. With each raise in taxes, there's a new raise in crime, and when there is a raise in crime, there's a new raise in fear.

    California:  Zebra murders, Freeway Stranger, Hillside rapist, Nightstarker, Trailside killer, Kidnappers, robberies, burglaries and drive-by's. In Atlanta a few years back 20 children were killed, women raped on campuses across the country, snipers shooting and killing people, disgruntled employees becoming distraught and shooting up offices and those within the off ices and employment areas.  City after city, state after state.  We can't even trust our governnent officials who also commit crimes of various natures; murderr, rapes, drugs, embezzlement, stealing and many other crimes which would fill this page.

    Watergate, Iran-gate 4nd White-water, only demonstrates what extent our government officials will go to deceive the people, to commit a crime, to rob the tax payers. You and me, The Voters.

    It is a shame when a man/woman/family, cannot feel safe within their own home, when a person can't feel safe at his or her place of business or employment. What is America coming to?  Are we retrogressing to the prohibition days?  Where every potential criminal carried a gun, and gangland wars threatened our beautiful cities. Where organized criminals controlled our livelihoods and city and state officials were on the take. Or are we going back to the western era where carrying a sixshooter was and is as common as wearing a pair of shoes?  Just what direction is America heading in?

    In England, criminals commit crimes without guns, and very few victims are ever seriously hurt by criminals. Why is such a great nation like America so threatened by violence with guns and crimes?

    With all the overpaid psychologists, psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, sociologists and psychiatrists and all their studies and scientific research and rhetoric, why haven't they come up with a solution to this monstrosity which threatens the lives of the American citizens?  To those problems which puts America at an unrest. "WHY?

    Why? Because if they were to solve the immediate problems, they would lose fundings, and then there would be no more need for research in that area, and that would cut the money slid under the table going into their pockets for personal use.

    It is said that most crimes originate in the ghetto.  Funny! I didn't meet Nixon, Reagan, Liddy, Hoover, Bush and the many other government crooks in the local liquor stores or dice houses.

    These great American cities were wade by waves of emigrants, each nationality forced to live in a ghetto or poverty-stricken section of any town or city.  Blacks, Mexicans, ltalians, Poles, Irish and Jews.  All ran in packs and attacked each other seeking control over the other's section. They fought for reputation snd recognition, They robbed and killed each other relentlessly.  Eventually a few reached the conclusion that through education they could either elevate themselves from the ghetto and or elevate the crimes, subsequently many such ghetto dwellers educated thevselves, moved and became useful American citizens.

    But there are millions of others who will not become useful citizens, and they are not all confined to the ghetto. Even the rich and useful are committing crimes, monstrous crimes, and we the tax payers, the citizens, the public must suffer for these atrocities, we must tolerate and accept these injustices until we the tax payers, the citizens, the public unite and speax up, publicly and with our votes. It is the only way to rid both crimes and dirty politicians at the same tine.
