Computer Geek / Network & Systems Administrator. I have been in computers my whole life and have dabbled in different programs and some web design. I like movies, music, dinners, cooking, hanging with friends, although I am more of a homebody. I like to debate my views with other people in politics, religion, equality, health care reform, and several other topics. I believe in equality for all, and not just some. We have the freedom of religion and the freedom from religion. No religion should dictate our laws, nor should we ever write any discrimination into the constitution. I also believe that just because the majority voted for something, doesn't mean it is the best thing for this country. Americans need to quit selling out their fellow man and demand that NAFTA be fixed now, or just needs to go away, period. America needs to take care of itself before its to late. We need health care reform now. We should never leave health & human services in the hands of the free market. We should never allow anyone to profit off the suffering of others.
The more I travel through the once magnificent city called Detroit, the more I realize it is the city that people would rather forget.
One thing I cannot forget are the people that are still there today, living in this warzone called poverty.
Today, the news reported that unemployment is at 29% in the City of Detroit.
In a city where multitudes flocked so they could find a decent job and make an earnest living, if these buildings could talk, do you think they would ask “Remember Me”?
Is America going to follow suit and is the worst yet to come?
We should all be mad and we should all be getting pissed – today Detroit, tomorrow our own town!
Reply to TJThis is so sad and scary to see. Just the thought that this could be coming to every neighborhood across this great country of ours.
Reply to TariqWe all need to stand together and be responsible citizen to save our nation from the disaster called financial meltdown, brought on to us by our own greed and our impotent and irresponsible politicians and leaders.
