I moved here in 1972 and was under Lindsay, Beame, Koch, Dinkins and than Rudy who at last made this place livable and you were not afraid to touch things he really clean this place up and brough down crime Rudy was tenacious and did not take no for answer.

Now Bloomberg has maintain the Rudy standards but unfortunate Bloomie is a part of the Humanist Manifesto!

"He relates everything to New York City. Well, New York City is not emblematic of the rest of the country, I don't think. I think the sentiments of those people in the rest of the country are in support of the Second Amendment — which is where I've always been and I don't think he's ever been," Thompson said

NY City may not be emblematic nor representative of the rest of the country. But the people who live there are (mostly) Americans, just like the rest of us, and have the same rights as the rest of us. The Bill of Rights applies in New York City just as much as anywhere else. If their politicians don't think so, perhaps it is time to "Git a Rope"
