“They may be back again.”

Everyone is expecting it, except for the dopes who voted for DeBlasio. It would take a while for it to get as bad as it did in the 70s.

I was born in ‘58 and grew up on the east side of Manhattan. To me it was a beautiful world, until the late 60s, the church doors stood open during the day, rich and poor lived in the same area. I went to Public School with the children of millionaires and kids from the projects. Then, in seemed, they suddenly locked every door in NY. And it was downhill from there, but it still took about 20 years to hit rock bottom.

I will always say God bless Giuliani, he pulled that city back from the brink, and he did it pretty much single handedly.

I’m fearful though, When Obama got elected I said to hubby: now we’ll see how much damage one man can do in 4 years - but he’s been much worse than I ever thought.
