And so it is that th language has already evolved a word to describe families beset by just the sort of dilemma described above: bigangual. From Urban Dictionary: Bigangual: The state of being a member of two street gangs at the same time Usage: My wife and I couldn't agree on which street gang our 4 year old son should join, the Crips or the Westside Ballers, so I trashed her place of employment and got arrested. We settled on raising our son to be bigangual. One of the neat things about the English language is its flexibility, owing to such varied word origins - Latin, Germanic, Greek, one could go on.

I'm admittedly no expert, but I've never heard of the Westside Ballers and their name implies they're more of a local organization, whereas the Crips clearly have nationwide stature. But maybe the Ballers are a dynamic, growing organization with lots of new opportunities opening up for young talent. In that case suppose there is a decision to be made wrt whether the young man wants to be a big fish in a small pond with the Ballers, or the small fish in the big pond of the Crips' more mature (and likely more bureaucratic) organization. Hopefully for the youngster's sake, he can learn more about each respective organization before making a decision, possibly from Gonzo's counterpart in Banger Resources.

Then mixed-religion relationships were an issue, and folks usually found a way to co-exist - or if they didn't, amicably went their separate ways. I can honestly admit I didn't realize mixed-gang relationship would be the next frontier. Would mixed-species relationships be more or less upsetting: "I want my child to be raised human - and ewe want it raised bovine!"... next on "The Maury Povich Show"! Stay tuned!!
