David Kelly has a very strong point here, let's assume you are the kid watching the video, coming from a not-so good background. What would he/she do? Obviously think that the video says the right things, and start following it. Society has changed, and we need to go along with it, but know the right ethics at the same time, because what you do today, might continue for a many generations to come. If some of you wonder how some families continue to be wealthy and honored for many generations, its because they have a continuing tradition, which has been kept going, and is hard to break.

At the same time, lets assume the kid learnt the right things, from the right people, learnt to be a hard-worker, learnt to get involved in FIRST and become JVN, or Andy Baker, or Woodie Flowers, or Dean Kamen, or Jessica Boucher, or Amanda Morrison, or Ken Leung, or David Kelly, or some good person like them.. Isn't that a much better life to live? This is life, choose what you really want?


At the same time, I am not saying I don't like rap or anything, I listen to rap, and act ghetto at times, but I come from strong roots and never get lost in some of the fantasies of this world

Really for the sake of argument, this leads us to what is truly right and what is wrong? (See Billfred's post)
