What a great idea! The affluent bourgeoisie can get rid of some of their
junk by giving it away to the Inner City Kids. They can then steal from one
another and maybe murder one another over their junker bikes. Keep up the
good work guys. Those Inner City Kids really appreciate what you are doing
for them!
