[Ridge Runner]

I felt so sorry for all the kids on there because they were being exploited in a sense. Someday they will look back on that and be extremely embarrassed. The whole incest thing was just uneccessary. BUT, I can't help but wonder if they were so poor, who paid for those tatoos, that cell, and that truck. When that phone rang, everyone in the room where I was just looked at each other mystified. My wife and I make pretty good money together and our second vehicle is not that nice. I swear it. People just seem to have their priorities twisted.

I keep seeing everyone asking how he got these items. People, in EKY you can trade a pill or a food stamp for anything. You saw what his mother said she could do with those pills if she wanted. Prepaid cells are the easiest to get. Laptop....same thing.

I for one was ****ed when I heard of the 20/20 show that was beeing aired. But, when I watched it...I thought it wasn't all that bad. I mean I think that maybe some of the stats were alittle ballooned and I had a few mixed emotions about it. But, I thought that over all it was tastefully done. Cause we need to face the facts people....IT is going on here. I know exactlly where she was last night. I have been in those areas and I can name a few more areas like that. And let me tell ya. LIFE IS HARD THERE! And it is one vicious cycle. You see so many young players graduate with hopes and dreams and while they are waiting to go off to college....they just seem to get sucked deeper and deeper into that hole that is soooo hard to climb out of. Every single one of us has witnessed it or know someone that it has happened to.

There is actually so much I would like to say. But, so little space.
I for one hope Shawn gets a break, takes it and succeeds. If he truly wants to get out of here and stand true to his word. He will jump at one of these offers that people are slinging at him now.

BUT, if he gets that break and ends up back here again.......Can't blame anyone but himself.

Good Luck Son.
