Traditionally, the largest concentration of blacks in Los Angeles, California and the city‘s most economically-depressed area. It has transitioned into a center for Latinos today and are now the area’s largest minority. South Central has been notorious in the media as a haven for violent crime, gangs, drugs and riots (the most recent in 1992 was the worst). Watts is its most well-known neighborhood. South Central Los Angeles is now referred to as “South Los Angeles” and is a loose term that includes all of south Los Angeles, south of The Santa Monica Freeway and downtown and includes independent cities within the region: Compton, Inglewood, Downey and Bellflower. It was depicted in the movie “Boyz n the Hood.
South Central is about the worst place for anybody in any city to live. Ghetto and gangsta at its finest.

When formerly rural areas are threatened by the encroachment of urban areas. Happens when people move and commute further and further away from the city, soon to be followed by strip malls, Walmart, cookie-cutter housing developments and SUVS driven by soccer moms and corporate fatcats. Some people complain that it also causes higher taxes, higher crime and pollution.
Urban sprawl happens near every city of reasonable size but occurs the fastest in the Sun Belt. Urban sprawl is addressed in the song "They Paved Paradise and Put Up a Parking Lot."

A spinoff of the popular ABC sitcom, Perfect Strangers about a black Chicago family, the Winslows and their family matters, hence the show's name. In later seasons the central character was Stephen Q. Urkel, the next door neighbor and nerd who forever had a crush on Laura Winslow. His character was brilliant but socially inept and clumsey. The Urkel character appeared in the first season as a one time role but reappeared as a main character after his huge popularity. In the show's last episode (due to its cancellation), Steve was engaged to Laura but disappeared into outter space on a NASA mission. It is not known wheather he and Laura married or not.

Something that is supposed to protect people but has turned into a conspiracy of beurocracies, dishonesty, waste—and has grown so big and so out of control and repeatedly oversteps its bounds. It has grown so big that it has invaded pro sports, the bedroom, your car, your body, healthcare, education, fitness (yes, fitness) and big business. It now is a giant vampire and now wants to suck your blood and control your life from the cradle to the casket.
Government sucks and we would be much better off without it. Although we need some of it, it works when it does what it is designed to do.

A necessary evil. What America needs less of. A group of blood-thirsty vampires with an unquenchable thirst for more power. It was originally established to create a judicial system, to collect taxes and declare war, but has grossly over stepped its bounds. The GOV in America is not for the citizens anymore. It is not run by the lawmakers themselves but by lobbyists and special interest. The GOV has gotten so big that it wants to control what you do in your bedroom, what you do with your body, has invaded your home, has invaded your car, has even invaded professional sports. It wants to control EVERY aspect of your life. It is filled with corporate fatcats and lobbysists who give money to Congress for their special interest. It doesnt protect the little guy and the citizens anymore, but only looks out for its rich friends. The GOV cares more about pork (not the Presidential intern type) than it does about solving real issues.
The government sucks and is useless, filled with old, rich, white guys with little minds and even littler monkeys.

Persuasion using, lies, “fuzzy” math, and manipulation. Replacing the truth with lies. Creating truth rather than voicing it. What the biased media uses to “report” the news and persuade you. What has replaced traditional education in the public schools and universities in this country, and based on assumptions and hypothesis rather than truth.
Propaganda is what the liberals, politicians, and the media like to use to convince you that the war in Iraq is over oil or that George W. Bush is "evil" or that 9-1-1 was a government conspiracy---all hogwash crap based on crap.
