I never said "simply based." Is your reading comprehension really that shoddy? I said more likely. Statistics don't prove absolutes, just likelihoods. If the schools are classified as dangerous places (and they are or should be), why are you even arguing with me?

As for mentoring, it's not something I've ruled out. It's just as I'm doing the law school thing while working full time, I'm extremely selfish with what time I have left over. Mentoring a kid right now would probably be a disservice to that kid. Kudos for you giving back and all -- but really, to use your own words, do you want a cookie for that?

But of course you didn't kevin...but then the way you just casually tossed that welfare remark out there....well hmmm...I guess it was an open and shut case for you...right?


Just because a child is black and goes to an inner city school does not automatically mean you have the right to assume that her family is on welfare.

Well those two factors do make it more likely, but I was looking more at the violent disposition of the child.
