And it's ALSO never been cleaner or safer.
I can ignore a flaming queer. I cannot ignore a mugger who shoves a knife in my face. If Giulliani can make there be less muggers, then I really don't care if he happens to also make there be more flaming queers. I recommend you re-think your priorities.
He made it 'clean' and 'safe' by making it so much of a doggone nuisance to be there unless you're totally obsessed about watching every p and q. And of course if you're a preborn baby, you aren't going to find much comfort that your muggers are dressed in white smocks instead of jeans and tee shirts.
Gun beats knife...and rock, paper, scissors in world of real politics.
Rudy's not a big fan of the second amendment...good luck in the primaries...LOL!
