[Ducati] RE:young & clueless

[Ronald Betts]

Amen Don. I have always thought of society as a beautiful green lawn that 
you water and nurture. If some weeds come in , pull them out. Seems like 
were to lazy to pick weeds today. I work at a school for at risk youth. AT 
RISK YOUTH.....Damn the teachers are the only ones at risk ! I asked a 
summer school english class to write about their generation's contribution 
to society....Man what a scary thing that was. These kids have no purpose 
let alone a plan for the future. Accountability does not exist in most of 
their vocabulary. They all need Ducatis they can love and respect.....(Duc 
content).  ;-}>



Peace...Ron"Desmohead"Betts 95 900 SP
I've learned that I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it!
