| Teenagers arn't on the rampage. Your parents said the same about you, and their parents said the same about them. As a teenager myself, from a council estate, I'm telling you that theres nothing special happening. Its just that the papers, especially shit like the Sun, find it easier to whip up a storm over nothing rather than looking for important news, like the way our government distracted us from the almighty cockup over wmd's in Iraq by focusing on David Kelly's death.
The gun crime increase is different though, but could be dealt with by legalising most of the drugs (not heroin though). Then it'll come through legit channels, drive down the price and put the dealers out of business. No drug warfare, fewer killings, and lower prices means less drug related theft too.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
