9. That description of America does not describe where I live.

Yes, in KCMO we have some incidents but not very often. People where I live are good, decent people who are polite and kind. My neighborhood has just about every race and religion that you could imagine. I don't there has ever been trouble. I think, if anything, people here go out of their way to be sure no trouble gets started.

Really, the biggest problem we have here are the gangs which run amok in the inner city. And they are made up of all races. Just depends where you are. Citizens are working on the problem but it is really hard to get a handle on it.
