...Hollywood gave them one: the architect played by Charles Bronson in Death Wish. After his wife is murdered and his daughter raped, he is given a gun and, when attacked, kills the assailant, then stalks the city looking for muggers to punish. Reflecting and exploiting urban anxieties, the movie was panned by critics who found it reprehensible - "Poisonous incitement to do-it-yourself law enforcement," Variety proclaimed - and wildly garish. "This doesn't look like 1974," Roger Ebert wrote of Death Wish at the time, "but like one of those bloody future cities in science-fiction novels about anarchy...

The stupidity and lack of forethought in all that this Administration has attempted have been shocking, to say the least. Can someone please tell me where was "the genius" in all this?

...school and high school is an awkward time. They're too young to get a real job and too old to be babysat. Well-to-do families can afford summer camps and exotic learning opportunities, but they're a minority. Shirley Sagawa, an expert on youth policy and an architect of the AmeriCorps legislation, is proposing a Summer of Service. One hundred thousand students would volunteer for organizations like City Year, a national volunteering program and think tank, or Citizen Schools, which organizes after-school activities for middle schoolers, and run summer programs for younger students in exchange...
