America's streets are in terrible shape. And I'm not talking
about potholes, busted curbs or blinky street lights.
No, the problem is that so many of our streets are really
mean. This meanness is sweeping the country and spreading to foreign lands.
I made this discovery recently after hearing a TV war
correspondent refer to snipers shooting people on "the mean streets of
Sarajevo."
It seemed to me that I had read or heard the phrase
"mean streets" before.
Using a computer service, I searched for the words
"mean streets" in dozens of newspapers.
The search covered only the first five months of this year.
But the results were frightening. Here are just a few of the mean streets that
were found.
