Detroit: The Future Face of America
Thanks . Just added the link .
if the soviets or chicoms or moslems had done this,
there’d be hell to pay.
but, fdr, eleanor, lbj, carter, clintons and the democrats did this.
You are correct . Every inch of available space is utilized . There are some very beautiful parks / spaces in Tokyo and still a few sections where you’d think you were in the countryside : quiet , green , peaceful ...But alas , they are getting scarcer as the megalopolis continues to grow .
Detroit = New Fallujah. Similar pictures?
Detroit: The Triumph of Progressive Public Policy
http://www.mackinac.org/article.aspx?ID=10743
Excerpt:
Imagine a city where all the major economic planks of the statist or “progressive” platform have been enacted:
* A “living wage” ordinance, far above the federal minimum wage, for all public employees and private contractors.
* A school system that spends significantly more per pupil than the national average.
* A powerful school employee union that militantly defends the exceptional pay, benefits and job security it has won for its members.
* A powerful government employee union that does the same for its members.
* A tax system that aggressively redistributes income from businesses and the wealthy to the poor and to government bureaucracies.
Would this be a shining city on a hill, exciting the admiration of all? We don’t have to guess, because there is such a city right here in our state: Detroit
For a video tour of Detroit go to:

Satisfied that no permenant damage was done, plans for the Greening of America were drawn up.
Go ahead and tar me !
Rev. James David Manning of Harlem has said that black people - generally speaking - are destroyers . Look around the world and just about everywhere you go you see evidence of this . As long as they keep blaming whitey ( not that we are perfect mind you ) for everything instead of moving on and becoming more patriotic while at the same time creating self-sufficiency in their communities with the help of whites AND putting more emphasis on FAMILY ( versus single mother households ) ...they will continue to be destroyers . They need GOD most of all . Too many have been hoodwinked by charlatan preachers who are no more Christian than Stalin .
gorgeous. doesn’t seem to glow in the dark at all.
The Allied Forces, comprised mainly of the forces of the Soviet Union, the United States, the British Empire, with the assistance of their allied nations, partisans and resistants.
That square park surrounded by water. Is that a shrine? does it sit on reclaimed land?
So the whole thing is about the A-bomb. A-bomb this and A-bomb that, toy A-bombs at the souvenir shop....
That town needs a Six Flags.
