PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH STARTED THE CAMPAIGN TAX-AND-SPEND DEBATE CORRECTLY IN HIS ACCEPTANCE SPEECH AT THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION, AND HE HAS A FIGHTING CHANCE TO WIN A SECOND TERM IF HE CAN CONVINCE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT THIS TIME HE REALLY WILL KEEP HIS PROMISE ON TAXES.

Metal Firtina (The Metal Storm), by Orkun Ucar and Burak Turna, is reviewed.

In this article we shall explore the elements of the perfect storm. Specifically, it reflects on the confluence of sequentially interrelated events and processes: (a) a national cult of violence; (b) structural inequality; (c) national and local policies targeting young males of color; (d) neglect; and (e) nihilism, all of which delegitimizes, targets, and victimizes young males of color. This perfect storm reflects a system, rarely viewed by either media or the public, which must both theoretically and with reference to policy also be viewed systematically. Absent this systematic approach, our efforts to contain, reduce, and/or eliminate the homicidal menace devastating our youth and communities of color can at best only be marginally successful.
