I'm glad I'm not raising my daughter in that insane city.

I grew up in NYC (Staten Island) and that was crazy enough!

[dangin]

that's just outright dangerous and stupid IMO. those kids are going to get hurt one day. they're apt to get ran over by a car or have the snot beaten out of them by a bodyguard. they're luck erika badu (sp?) only erased the images from their camera. she could've had her bodyguards toss them in the trunk and got rid of em down a river. and shame on their parents for promoting the behaviour. senseless, absolutely senseless. :huh

Typical of a lot of yuppie parents in the area. Too much money, no time or sense. "Here, have $10k of camera gear and a $30k car and keep out of my hair." :rolleyes It's bad enough behind the "Orange Curtain" but add in the insanity of Hollyweird....

(dang, but I'm feeling obnoxious this morning)

Wah, my daddy never bought me a $10K of camera gear. :-{

Ok, but we *did* get: Bally game console with a Basic cartridge, and a TRS-80, and later an Atari 400, and then an 800, and then an Apple ][ and a //c and later a Mac Plus and still later a IIsi.

So, I guess I was spoiled too. :-}
