   The  solution to make many major cities better are : Educating kids at a   
   younger age about being responsible parents and citizens almost liking have   
   a course  about the effects of a good family compared to affects from a   
   dysfunctional family and I am very serious about that.   
   B- Stopping crime by at least having more cameras around to monitor violent   
   criminal behavior.C- Supporting alternative energy sources and making the   
   EPA implement things faster to save our health. They have ethanol available   
   to cut down the harmful emissions and this is produced from corn and they   
   are stalling on this for years.They had a piece on 60 minutes about hydrogen   
   and this would produce no harmful emissions. Can you imagine if we survive   
   that long what a Godsend that would be for cities. Where inner city youth   
   didn't have pollution to grasp in to make positive changes in their lives/ ?   
   Can you imagine the productivity of our citizens when health costs and   
   people can maximize their potential ? Anyway in my book eveything is   
   connected and we are making changes too slowly by assuming its someone elses   
   responsibilty and  interpretation rather then rallying to promote change   
   faster.After all if we are all driving SUVs and watching crime shows, and   
   criticizing people like me, then obviously getting sick later in life will   
   never be as much as a concern. What happens is MR. Rodgers says to wife ,   
   Martha I have this ...disease . MR.Rodgers kids are either dead or moved   
   away from old city long ago. NO one cares, they never tried to see the   
   connections. Sad . At least Mr.Rodgers was never a crime victim who don't   
   have even an email to explain their cause. All the thousands of people   
   murdered don't have squat to fight back with. Their poor souls are a   
   reminder of our concern about doing virtually nothing about violent crime   
   with very few new solutions to counter it. Sad . But wait till you hear   
   about Americas troops in Iraq. What difference does it make when many in US   
   can't even enjoy going outside.
