Karen after driving around Philly I am concerned convinced , you have not 
seen anything yet. There are soo many people (big) mad at just about 
anything, that I can't help to think how many more people are going to get 
hurt. Its not easy to justify this as status quo , there is toxic mix of 
people without jobs, high energy prices, heat, pollution and dysfunction and 
dare I suggest rap music. Now not all rap music is bad but some is. I will 
hesitate to suggest many people don't see what I see everyday. I have no 
doubt the violence here is not about to stop unless Philly does way more. 
Again sad sad sad, and pollution levels very very high. All I say is compare 
the health care costs, the general conditions of the people , the everything 
and you will see the connections.  I don't know if this is happening in rest 
of country, but I hope not or we are done , thru and finished. Record heat 
in the Us and drought and remember its just a coincidence I have been 
suggesting the damage from global warming has been going on for five years.
