I'm discouraged by the extraordinarily broad brush you use to paint our
youth.
Not even 7 years ago I was spending every free day at the Burnside Project
in Portland, skating until I couldn't walk, hanging out with other skaters,
and having a lot of fun.
Yes, there was swearing. Yes, there was smoking. And sometimes, illegal
behaviour. For the most part it was kids hanging out and skating all day and
night.
Why are you so afraid of our children?
