Same old wine in a new bottle?... Listen: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=16368964

A reconstituted Kerner Commission launches a six-city nationwide tour to examine contemporary poverty and race issues. The original Kerner Commission tried to find the causes of race riots in 1967, and concluded that the nation was "moving toward two societies, one black, one white, separate and unequal."

"A reconstituted Kerner Commission launches a six-city nationwide tour to examine contemporary poverty and race issues."

Duhhhhh....!!!??? We already know what the problems are. It's like investing money to research how and why a starving dog would slobber if you put food in front of him. Pointless.

(But, after all what do Americans do when they intend to do nothing? They form a commission, have it issue a report and stick it on the shelf.

It's the American way)
