Notes of a Defeatist

Milwaukee has found itself ranked number two in the nation in teen pregnancy.
For those of you at home taking part in the Watching Milwaukee’s Further Degradation Drinking Game take a few for each of the future generations this will impact.

Fear not, we can expect this:

Conservatives and Liberals and in-betweeners will trade blame.

Governemnt officals will blame lack of leadership, tax dollars and funding, the school system, any which way it could be spun away from them.

Rich will blame Poor.

Whites will shake their heads shamefully at Blacks.

Blacks will shake their heads shamefully, and shake them right back at Whites who will pretend it’s not them.

Religious will again speak out about abstinence and the place of religion in schools.

School systems will point to the parents, the children, and the lack of resources.

The parents will blame the schools.

The irresponsible will blame the responsible.

And, some of those responsible will do what they can in the face of adversity and others will not.

So it goes.

The stability of Milwaukee is further shook. When will something or some people start responding and stop talking?
