Which would lead me to conclude that whatever *we* tried to do didn't really
make any difference and that *we* really don't understand how to do
anything about this or any of the other *disturbing* faces of the
contemporary youth scene. like school shootings. But then It's hard to
change the scene on the street from the salons of the palaces, or better
said, to understand the unintended consequences of the changes that what
*we* did cause, wouldn't you agree?
