Gangs. What's it going to TAKE?

What’s it going to TAKE?

On my way to work this morning, more graffiti....again. It sickens me that these kids don’t have something worthwhile to pour all that negative, angry energy in to. So, always the brainstormer...what if someone stepped up to the plate and took the lead into solving this? Police? Some enigmatic outside person who will take on Dodge City’s ever growing problem of Gangs and Gang activity.

Let’s brainstorm! Not bash or be negative. Approach it with possibilities that could actually HELP.

Here is mine.

I say the City (yes, I said the City) fund a symposium that will invite these so called enigmatic speakers who hold a vast knowledge of Gangs and their psychological makeups .....invite the Gangs, speak to their hidden courage about joining together to do something with all that angst. Something that will make their parents and families proud. Something that will possibly break the cycle handed down to their brothers... A Social Call or appeal, if you will, to their honor....Let’s invite them to take all that bravado and Join the Service. If they are underage, let’s have them also be recruited to join early! More time to prepare themselves for their future and their country’s future. Why not give them A Future?

I know I’m babbling, but was just thinking. Anymore thinkers out there—> ???
