I dig this. I'd like to do something like this myself, but not with a group. I don't know how these guys can get together and work together and not have arguments and infighting. They're special.
I think when you are matched against what seem to be insurmountable odds, the hopelessly of the ghetto, it's easier to work together just to get things done. Kind of like how soldiers keep soldiering on in the military. When the cause is gone, that's when things start getting bad.
