[QUOTE="Montana'eer, post: 1919564, member: 113417"] Amen. I was a latchkey kid and grew up in the 70's-80's in the Wash DC burbs of Maryland. Our high school was one of the first to experience forced busing. It was, for all intent and purposes- a total failure. Kids had to leave their neighborhoods to be bused to a school far away and away from their friends and it created a racial tension that literally went ignored. It was never addressed or talked about. It was NOT pleasant to be a part of social experiment- especially with everyone in their raging teen years. It wasn't good for anyone. In the 90's, especially late 90's and into the new millennium, things actually felt like things were getting better. At least I felt that way. Sometimes I don't know how to feel. I did get a call over the weekend from my buddy back in WV. He actually called to thank me for being the one banker that would listen to his business plan and fund him. He know owns one of the busiest body shops in Eastern WV and employs 13. He just wanted to call and chat- with all the crazy crap going on. It was a bright spot to my weekend. [/QUOTE]
