Well, I think we've all seen the state of deterioration in America cities and obviously

downtowns of places like Seattle and so on, just bombed out war zones, San Francisco's

fishermen's wharf's completely shuttered up.

But what about the areas that are just slightly outlying that?

What about the suburbs around these areas?

Well, it turns out I had an experience about this, so I thought I'd like to share it with you. Hey, everybody, I'm Bill Little. Here was Steve Green and Scott Ott,

and I want to tell you about my Monday in Santa Monica. My wife, Natasha, beautiful, lovely wife

Natasha, needed to go to Santa Monica for just a routine medical appointment. It was only about 20

minutes long. We parked the car. I was thirsty. I walked across the street to

this, like the most hippie co-op you can possibly imagine. I mean, the petuliole, smell, they open the doors,

it just almost knock you back. I just going in there to get some bottled water and I saw some

flowers and I'm standing there in line. And as I'm looking at the front door, I see an altercation.

And the altercation is between a large man and a relatively normal-looking woman, both tugging on a bag.

And I thought he's trying to steal her bag.

And as I'm watching, this guy reaches into her bag and starts removing these items and putting them back on the store.

He was the security guy.

He was the loss prevention guy.

And she just walked in there to take stuff.

And Steve, here's the thing that struck me about this.

The security guy wasn't adrenalized.

He wasn't angry.

He wasn't stressed.
