Bubba: "I don't know how you would characterize the gang leaders who got 13-year-old kids hopped up on crack and sent them out onto the street to murder other African-American children," Clinton said, addressing a protester who appeared to interrupt him repeatedly. "Maybe you thought they were good citizens .... You are defending the people who kill the lives you say matter. Tell the truth. You are defending the people who cause young people to go out and take guns."I feel like a weather vane sometimes.
The problem is the loss of adolescence in the welfare system. Writers call it loss of innocence, it happens when the toddler is thrust into an insecure world, so they miss out on adolescent games and imagination. Adolescence teaches us how to delay our instincts and engage in cooperative behavior. It is called sublimation. When whole generations grow up, crowded, and none have the sublimation skill, then we get violence.
