uh i don't know i can't give uh too good a perspective uh how things have changed in ten twenty or thirty years
well i guess uh
i guess the first thing you know comes to mind would be how they've changed to the worst
yeah how so
in a lot of ways
yeah well
yeah
i guess break down of the family unit for one thing
um-hum
the uh
astounding drug use that's uh going on and
yeah
pretty depressing if you start thinking about it i guess
yeah it's uh i don't know it's you know i lived in basically it's a suburb of Washington DC
um
um so i you know luckily i'm in a good area so you know i don't have to really deal with
a lot of the problems that DC has to deal but uh you know
yeah
uh kids are you know kids are bringing in guns into the grade schools and high schools and stuff
you know trying to kill others kids and you know it's it's it's outrageous you know
unbelievable
like like you hit the nail on the head probably that all comes from you know lack of a good family structure
for this people you know they just
yeah i don't know which came first i don't know i think the drugs had a lot to do with it but
yeah yeah i don't you know
i don't know if that's a cause or an effect
yeah that's that's the tricky thing trying to separate
figure out which is which um
but i don't know you know it i don't think there was much of a problem until crack started hitting the streets really
yeah
yeah because that's cheap and incredibly addictive and uh
you know that seems to be the target choice of the you know poor inter-city people
cocaine and marijuana i don't they really were after that i don't think they really touch that that much
however on the brighter side cars seems to be
performing a whole lot better
well that's true that's true
uh would kill for a dodge viper a the moment
uh a pretty nice car
yeah
uh the uh
why the computers in the engines
you know they uh compensate the whatever problems come along until i just
um-hum
i make six and i'm a bitch though
yeah it does i mean uh
but uh i do have a lot a lot help with those computers you know the curves giving a lot of information diagnostic
yeah yeah but doesn't uh help the home mechanic that much unless they've got a uh you know some way to decode all that information
sounds like my wife's car i just got uh
Cadillac a used one eighty six and
um-hum
had a few things she had to get fixed on it and we just so now you just pressed pressed a couple of the buttons up in the
uh
the air conditioning panel i think and uh and it reads out codes that way
um-hum
hum
and then of course have to decipher them
right
with the little book i use
hum interesting
but uh
yeah i don't know uh
street gangs and all that kind of stuff just
yeah
i think it comes back to the you know that the
family isn't
fulfilling the role it used to
yeah i i think that's probably the key thing you know the key thing so you've got
single mothers who are trying to raise kids and you know are off working all day and the kids are on their own
you know that much guidance they're going to get into trouble and
you know now good stable family structure uh keep them straight or you know father figure to look up to or anything
well
they get so much information from the
TV you know
um-hum
and uh
makes
i think part of the
parents
you know party and so forth and stands in the fact that they were
you know able to
teach them and tell them about things that and now the kids probably know more than the parents in a lot of cases
yeah about somethings but i don't you know
yeah
for the more important things about life i think uh a lot of kids are missing uh
right that's true
they're they're out for the the quick buck mentality
you know who they gets defined by what kind of tennis shoes they wear
and uh you know they they don't have
really kind of deep personal values anymore you know what
