silly thumper music

[oink]

Very depressing song Tom. I watched several generations of the same families commit the same mistakes and follow the same lifestyle, spending much of their lives as guests of or wards of the State, with short lives beginning and ending up on SSI or similar. Many never working a single honest days work. SSI based on HIV as a disability seems to be a popular career. I wish I knew of an answer. The strangest part to me is that the lifestyle is glorified in song. Why a youth from a more promising background would want to emulate and intentionally join that "gangsta" culture is, to me, incomprehensible.
