^^^I bet we get our 28 days plus one in November. Not much more, though.

Thank you.
I thought the special was greatly informative for those who aren't aware --sort of like a Problems in Black America 101. I had a general sense of knowledge of everything covered (the parts I got to see), but as far as specific numbers and percentages, I did learn some new things. At the very least, it sparked an interesting debate between me and my mother about whether I should move to DC or not.
I just feel (and have always felt) that we as a people spend a good deal of time discussing the present state of things and where our issues originated (read: whose fault it is).
When are we going to dedicate ourselves to finding solutions? When are we going to highlight those solution-focused efforts that are taking place now rather than focusing on those deep, introspective individuals who keep re-hashing what we already know trying to find some overlooked statistic? I held a forum about this in college, but all that came of it was an hour of a room full of people blaming "the man."
