Hi Simon,

You are not related, by any chance???

 

Not too long ago, it would have been some rock music.   Disturbing trend spreading from the good ol' USA, Glorification of violence and gansterism.  In my old neighborhood gangs were violent, greedy individuals oppose to any change the would improve the lives of their neighbors.

My two cents

ps,  

Funny, nonetheless.

Sad state of affairs gangs and gangsters etc. Rather like Hooliganism at football matches. People feel safe being part of a group but the reality is that these individuals are extremely insecure and lost without direction. While I don't advocate gangs and their behaviour at all, let's not forget what the root cause of this is: deprivation and poverty. So, until we start addressing this, and I am unable to offer any solutions as to how to go about it, it will always be a problem societies have to face, just as it has been for generations. The division between poor and rich (or poor and poorer - depending how you want to see it) will only ever get wider, and the problem only bigger. Its a real tough one to turn around. You begin to see the appeal of communism as an ideology although one that sadly could never work, as we have seen in countless nations.
