I was expecting to see a difference, but not to that extent. How does that compare to other cities around the US? And where is Baltimore exactly?

ah, bodymore!

seriously, that is fucked up, but really...it's not surprising. You are right..the schools are shit, the drugs are endemic, I know people at work, hell, I'm friends with one or two who have been shot, who have been or are drug dealers

and its 65-35 black, but those results are more like 90-10 on the distrubtion...and its black people killing black people, too

and I don't know about you, but I see absolutely no hope that any of the major candidates will be able to do anything....dixon, while strong(she'd probably scare the crap out of some people on the eastside at 3AM) is corrupt, keifer is incompetent, rawlings-blake is well-intentioned but utterly naive, and sarbanes is an oppurtunist looking to back into office on the strenght of daddy's name

ah, but you know Im cynical ;)

but still...I love this town

and when Im running a run-down burger joint in ventura, ill miss it

hope your doing well
