Who'da Thought????

In today's MJS (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)....

After a surge during the first half of summer, killings in Milwaukee slowed over the past month, giving activists, police and others hope that their efforts to stem violence are paying off.

The start of school, cooler weather and other factors are being cited for the slowdown.



Wait a minute....these people are killing each other because they're hot? And have too much time on their hands?

Jeepers. We have spent millions of dollars on jobs programs, crime-prevention, and the War on Poverty. Are you telling me all we needed to do was to hold school year-round and buy some air-conditioners?
