"You can still fall in love across a crowded room," says Gagnon. "It's just that society determines whom you're in the room with...
Perhaps we are all blind to the limitations of those we love.

Several thousand or so gang members in Chicago are spread out across separate fiefdoms, led by "ministers" in their 30s and 40s who are always recruiting children. There is plenty of work for everyone: car theft, drug running, prostitution, extortion, credit-card fraud. Police suspect that gang leaders use the little ones as drug runners and hit men because they are too young to be seriously punished if they are caught...
