after the riots and all, London is still utterly cool. like many cosmopolitan cities, it has its problems. sometimes parents forget how to properly raise their kids and the teachers were not the same as my teachers in grade school who subject their students to humiliation by not aiming for the good grades. my mom always screamed for prim and proper behaviour. the world of no Internet and less television was more cleansing to the moral soul than the information overload and technological advances of today.
but the word is multicultural, that's london, the society and oasis of not merely the clash of lineage and heritage. how do we get the different sectors of the community to work on cohesion? the David Camerons of this world, the over-privileged few, an example of those born sucking on silver spoons, do not have the monopoly on success. some are more inspiring than others and it's still through education and hard work.
