   I don't have to look away. I live here too, remember?   
      
   But here's what I don't do which you are hooked on as if it were   
   crack: I don't watch TV. I mean I NEVER watch it. Not news.   
   Not shows. Nothing. I haven't watched it in about 5 years.   
   So I don't feel the immediate impact of continual   
   "mayhem" which TV presents as news when it's just a   
   sensationalistic ploy to create ratings and money.

   If I didn't care about the state of the city I wouldn't   
   have moved IN TO the city from the suburbs. I could have   
   continued to live there in full compliance with suburban   
   ignorance to city problems.

   I'm NOT voting for Street, you knucklehead.

   Go ahead. It won't solve anything. By the way the murder   
   rate is up in Phoenix too.
