Please add me to your Michigan list. What’s happening there is depressing as hell, but we all need to take a hard look at where Michigan is going, because the entire country risks heading in the same direction.
Thanks grellis. Detroit has bottomed out. Of course, there’s always folks around Michigan willing to dig the hole a little deeper each time that happens...
This happened on a flight ready to depart for Detroit .
Jack was sitting when a guy took the seat beside him. The guy was an emotional wreck, pale, hands shaking, moaning in fear. “What’s the matter?” Jack asked.
“I’ve been transferred to Detroit , there’s crazy people there. They have a lot of shootings, gangs, race riots, drugs, poor public schools, and the highest crime rate.”
Jack replied, “I’ve lived in Detroit all my life. It’s not as bad as the media says. Find a nice home, go to work, mind your own business and enroll your kids in a nice private school. It’s as safe a place as anywhere in the world.”
The guy finally relaxed and said, “Thank you. I’ve been worried to death, but if you live there and say it’s OK, I’ll take your word for it. By the way, what do you do for a living?”
“Me?” said Jack. “I’m a tail gunner on a Budweiser truck.”
