WESTSIDE STORY. 1961. Before your time? Didja know it was based on Romeo and Juliet?

It's about two teenage gangs...one WHITE one Puerto Rican. Different ethnic backgrounds. A member of WHITE falls in love with the sister of a Puerto Rican.

So what? Well today we have WHITES (the dumb cluck duck) JETS and the Puerto Rican SHARKS (everyone else). Not a love story. A hate story.

But TEENAGERS. NOT MATURE ADULTS! TEENAGERS. That is what the dumb cluck duck quacks are. Chanting FIRE FAUCI at ego hate virus rallies? Surrounding a competitor's van in THREATENING FASHION..mine is bigger than yours! Childish sophomoric adolescent pimply faced KIDS doing what kids do. Acting out.

Sad thing is they are old and middle aged and SHOULD KNOW BETTER but they don't. They get their kicks like kids do.

I pity their children who have crap role models and crap teachers in their parents. They grow up to be crap too. What chance do they have to break out of that crap cycle? NONE! So they don't. They perpetuate it.
