The Great Ed Dolan is opposed to these kind of programs for inner-city
kids. 
Hells Bells, I never went anywhere when I was a kid and I did not even
enjoy 
the advantage of being an inner-city kid. I was a small town kid and made 
out just fine without a lot of do-gooders fussing about and making a 
nuisance of themselves.

Surely there are playgrounds for inner-city kids where they can pummel one

another. We do not want them in the mountains where they do not belong.
Let 
them have their adventures on the mean streets of their urban
neighborhoods. 
After all, they are all going to grow up to be criminals anyway and end 
their lives in state prisons.
