But instead of dreaming about the future, 17 year old K'shonna Johnson says they worry about staying alive. "Just to see people I know passed away....I hear a lot of gun shots, violence due to drugs" the teen told us. |

| #10 "I stopped being so sympathetic about blacks when I saw a Vietnamese-American kid who'd escaped Vietnam in a leaky boat 12 years before, graduating as class valedictorian from the Air Force Academy." Which is why Asians are classed as "white" in California's higher education system. |

| #8 The left has created a complete society of entitled victims. They are not willing to work hard or try. They show over and over that they are resourceful and work hard at being in gangs and in the making and selling of drugs. Seems to me they have no desire to leave the comfort of the projects and try to make a difference in their lives... |

| #4 Why do I get the feeling that the 'candidates' were safely escorted and protected by a troop of fully armed bodyguards? I often wonder what politics would look like without a Praetorian Guard.
