That's where the culture comes in. If the parents/family don't impose(not offer), those values on the kid, the street culture will call them to the dark side. The problem now is, there have been so many generations living in the welfare trap, it's harder to find parents with those values anymore.

I'd say life is a little bit fair, with no guarantees. If you work hard (and smart) and play by the rules, you have an increased chance of a good life. Be lazy and break rules, you have an increased chance of a sucky life. There is no certainty, but you CAN tip the odds. I think that is what needs to be taught.

No matter what, you're going to get the short end of the stick sometimes. If you're cognizant of that, mentally prepared, it's a lot easier to handle. Physically and financially prepared is even better.
Of course the best preparation is a plan for massive and swift retaliation, the right untraceable equipment, and an alibi.

"life is a little bit fair"
HA!
No, it's not. Little Johnny Shitpants comes into the world stupid, ugly, and sickly. Little Jackie Sparklypants comes into the world smart, beautiful, and robust. Where's your 'fairness'? Only in your head, a place Reality gives not one shit about. ## "the best preparation is a plan for massive and swift retaliation" Yes. Better: 'Get up early in the morning and kill them first.' |

US Postal Service again wants to end Saturday delivery. Is that good or bad?
Have extremists (Tea Party) been told yet to how to think? What is the party line? |

As soon as they hear the union is against it, they will support it.

Shush now Dana, take your pill, watch TV. All is well. But only because the government is taking care of things.
