I guess it’s the ego you get when you’re a city of just over a 3rd of a million of people and the only other major city that’s around you may as well be a part of your city since you’re so close together. The mayor, much like many other Minneapolitain, have this air or unearned arrogance. It’s because Minneapolis has made a living seeming as though it’s more significant than it actually is by stealing Saint Paul’s thunder for ages. The Mayor’s bought into the hype that his city of 380 thousand people actually means something nationally. It doesn’t. It’s a small sized urban outpost located by another small sized urban outpost when put together, make up a medium sized urban outpost of around 600K people and falling. He’s just the mayor of the western half of a remote, Denver sized city. It’s so small that I usually tell people I’m from the state of Minnesota when I go out of town, since few people have heard of Minneapolis.
Oh, and Minneapolis is full of militant vegans.
What are the comments of people you know, if any, about the recent story in the Pioneer Press of the illegal immigrant who had about 4500 bucks taken from him by an FBI special strike force or some name like that and was awarded seventy thousand dollars!!! by the unit’s insurance group because his “rights” were violated. The story was front page on the Press thursday. The illegal immigrant’s lawyer said his fourth and fourteenth amendment rights were violated. I read the story shaking in anger. He’s an ILLEGAL!!! immigrant. He’s a criminal.
