But are these areas really failures or areas where we haven't come as far as quickly. LA/Harlem (and there's other places around the world just as bad) are where people have adjusted and live the same tribal lifestyle that humans have lived for thousands of years. I expect in comparison that actually a far sight more civilized than say ancient rome or greece. Or even Saudi Arabia today. At least in LA & Harlem you don't get your head cut off in a public square because you told a stole a piece of bread. You might get shot, but only if you stole it from the wrong person. Is it really a failure then, or just somewhere that hasn't progressed as fast as the cosy cotton-wool environments most of the rest of us live in? Steve -- Steve Roome - Vision Interactive Ltd.
