Otherwise, homegirl could hold up and rob a liquor store while assaulting a passerby, then get 7 years...
Versus, Buffy, the Vampire Slayer getting 2 days...
That is what a lot folks think on the street...

I was trying to get around the assumption that everyone was raised by his or her parents, but I wasn't making any cultural difference claims, for what it's worth. I was also trying to be a little understated because I thought it worked better in response to KSig RC's comment about how no one chooses his or her own name. No, we don't choose our own names, but we're raised by the people who do.
