We can get along without the many, many ways in which you are thieving and destroying in our
country.
In North America, you are using your Brand to destroy the entire water system on at least half the
planet. Does that mean the other half will remain unaffected?
No. No it does not.
The destruction in our oceans you help engender in such a major way is a function of time, a shorter,
and geometrically shorter time each day you refuse to clean up what you did.
The continuing clean up will cost a lot of money. The jobs you claim to create in our county- let some
other company do that. You are reportedly the thieves paying people to make false claims so that you can deny all claims. Just get out.

The Detroit Vote For County, etc.
Maurice Brunson and Dion Williams are on my ballot as candidates for Wayne County Delegate.
I can find no information on either of them. Shouldn't they be getting in touch? Is District 7 to big
to access? I never used to think of it in that way.
We also have some awful ideas floated in this election.
At least one woman candidate wants to advance the privatization of schools.
Another woman on our ballots is a right-to-life advocate.
To me, these are awful things to advance.
We don't have any trouble getting abortions in Detroit, thank heavens, but it's costly.
I don't look forward to that changing in any way. Our citizens have enough life challenges. When
in need of constitutionally protected rights, they don't need the burdens of looking for a safe place
to get treatment, or searching for places far from where they live.
Burdening them thus would be positively barbarous.
Finding a school that is a Detroit Public school has always been imperative to our family.
We used to be able to access the schools without trouble. Now we have the nightmare of having to
search and be certain because once a child enrolls in on of Governor Snyder's grotesque school
programs, it's nearly impossible to get that youngster unenrolled. The whole process is a disgusting
trap. We have been lucky enough to avoid it so far. I wish us luck, We have to get through high school now.
We are asked to vote for the libraries, which I don't resent as much as I resent the mammoth museum.
Museums are often treasuries of stolen foreign treasure. And in Detroit the square footage of the
great place which welcomes the Detroit public compared to the entire square footage of the place is
a really big fat joke. Always has been.
The state wants us to vote to end the yearly taxes businesses pay on equipment. Such a dumb idea.
Businesses here have enough breaks now. They even get bailed out.
And we are to vote for millage to benefit the Wayne County School District. Another big fat joke.
Detroiters have never turned down a school millage for our city schools. What good has that done for
us now? Does the Governor respect that? No. And has the county school district ever reached out to
us in any meaningful way?
No. No it has not.

August 5th In Detroit
We have three people running for County Executive on next month's 7th District ballot. Two of them
are African American.
Here's the thing. Burton Leland knocked on my door nearly forty years ago.
He asked us to vote for him.
He has two sons who live and work in the area.
One of his sons is a Detroit City Councilman.
His office is in downtown Detroit.
He hasn't always done everything my friends and I have wanted; but he has always been in touch.
He has initiatives in our District, and he follows through on them.
Burton Leland uses flyers on a regular basis to keep us informed.
Now, Ramon J. Patrick is an African-American young person running against Burton for the county
spot. The only bio I can find for him is that he is a Virginia businessman.
I did get a couple of calls from him belaboring the obvious problems in our District, such as
freeway grass not getting cut often enough. But we need lights on the freeway even more. Renisha
McBride may even have been afraid to knock on a door a little farther down the freeway.
So, I have nothing on which to base voting for him. I don't live in Virginia. And I don't have my
own lawnmower.
The other person running against Leland is Monique Baker McCormick.
She doesn't say what her vision of county service should be. She only says Burton Leland lives in
Lansing.
Well, he has a home in Detroit- so he pays taxes in Detroit. I appreciate that because he has paid
taxes here his entire adult life.
I can't say as much for many of my friends.
We live in Wayne County, the same county housing all the Grosse Pointes. I don't think anyone
has trouble visualizing the disparity this fact highlights.
We need all the knowledgeable pro-active help we can get. So we have to vote for the person who
knows this county well enough to do the work here. Anyone who has a plan for us should come forth
with it.
However, I already voted the way I've been voting for 40 years. Besides, Burton went to the same
Detroit Public School as Axel Foley Jr.- Mumford.

Israel Is Losing Soldiers
We have no idea how many Hamas operatives are being lost. We know Palestinian people are losing
moms, grandmoms, children. If their fighting groups aren't incurring losses ,though, what will stop the present hostilities?

David Kay Johnston Is Right
Altering pensions without the input and agreement of pensioners is wage theft. And I will add-
Republicans have decided on this because they've been unsuccessful at privatizing Social Security.
They sit with a napkin at their throats, salivating. They mean to eat your dinner, one way or the other.
If the Republican Party can't privatize your government pensions, it will raid your already private or other municipal pensions. This they did in 2008, and will continue to do in every way its members find themselves able to do.
Despite the sound of its name, the Republican Party does NOT believe in the public, unless they are
fleecing it.
How dare you attempt to retire with some assets and income. You are not one of the 1%. What nerve.

Oh No! Those Are Kids!
Kids at the border could mean there will be less power for 61% of America's white voting populace,
and President Obama doesn't even care! What is going on?
President Obama didn't want to be the 'deporter in chief', but Republicans insisted he become that official.
Now that we have a crisis, they won't help undo the damage. So fine. If President Obama acts on his
own, it will be incumbent on them to try to undo his facilitation. And one thing that will mean for a
long, long time, is that the Republicans really can kiss the White House good-bye for practically time
immemorial. The bulk of the Hispanic community will not be going back to Central and South America...and they are not going back home.
Ordinary people had better begin to be way more careful about who their state and local officials
actually are, and what their agendas really are.
President Obama has to be President of all the people, and sorry 'Teas' that means he is also
President of 39% of the white voting electorate too.
Maybe you should rethink some of your Davy Crockett fervor. Most of your ancestors didn't get to
America before all the rest of ours anyway. So get in line with your mouth-foaming demands.

People- Read The Illiad Again
Why would we listen to one teeny tiny word coming out of the mouths of Rand Paul, or Paul Ryan,
or any other self-important of social mindlessness.
Why do we continue to wax nostalgic about the good old days of Abe Lincoln Republicanism, or even Jack Kemp Republicanism?
Those days are over. That's what the tea party is here to drive home. Are we deaf and daft?
If you like their ideas, float them to any constituency. Good luck.
Many Democrats complain bitterly about what President Obama cannot do. A plurality of them however, would not ever vote for someone else.
Let's recall the horrible surprise the Greeks had inside their great, impressive-looking gift horse to Troy.
