ù Quoting Bob Rudolph from a message to Ryan Bagueros  ù 
BR> YOU choose where you live, and the circumstances.  YOU have the power 
BR> to make  changes. 
Again, back to the flawed idea that we have a CHOICE. No, I'm in a lease that 
I
cannot break. If I could, I wouldn't have the money to move somewhere right 
now. Keep in mind how expensive moving is. Moving whenever you want is a 
luxury, and not one that many people have.
BR> So what is the outcome?  Are you telling me that nobody can do 
BR> anything - that  escalation of the complaint to the state level has 
BR> accomplished nothing - or  that nobody has bothered?
Yeah, you got it. What do you think really happens when a complaint is filed 
with the police? Outrage at the precinct?! Haha.. the complaints have gone as 
high as the federal level, actually. The mass media has a definite pro-cop 
bias, so those with the most political power - the upper middle class - a) 
don't ever hear about there being a problem and b) don't directly experience 
it, so they don't know. 
What city do you live in? I'd be more than happy to find out about your 
police 
department and what they've been up to ... 
BR> I find nothing musical or useful in either of those so-called songs. 
BR> They're  commercial successes for the perpetrators, nothing more.  
Of course, you can't think of one lyric from either song, or even what they 
have to say. You just immediately dismiss them as that "non-musical" rap 
stuff.
That, of course, is nothing but revelling in your own ignorance, though.
'i turn around and its a rookie in a mask,
 "i got an itch on my trigger,
  don't move nigger,
  i'm taking you for murder,"
 see, cops are two-faced like two laces on my reeboks
 my knees knock
 
 so did you shoot him?
 naw, kid, i didn't have the balls,
 that's when i realized i'm pumping too much biggie smalls.'
