Quoted from visitor

Gangs were born when the police function in this country was in its' infancy.

For example, crime and violence in NYC were more a product of the great migration, limited opportunities for upward mobility (e.g., employment, housing, education) and the extednded consequences of slavery's impact on the deterioration of minority family structure. Those problems were never successfully addressed and  teh drug trade exacerbated those problems.

The church?

Religion and the church are personal options.

Society should have a respectful and open path to religion, but it should not require the acceptance of a series absolute and fixed beliefs.

The government should not be used to mandate values, but to display strong values through it's actions.

The use of aggressive force and weapons, is the issue at hand.

The government needs to learn to solve problems, while respecting each individuals rights, and without using inappropriate amounts of force, detainment or search.

Let's face it, you can strip search all the grannies you want at every airport. It will never stop some extremist from standing on a roadway near the runway with a shoulder fired rocket launcher.

The act of displaying mistrust of the citizens in every aspect of their lives promotes fear and hatred of authority.

This brings us back to my original premise that police and government cause gangs to be born.
