    Just another example of how pathetic and beyond help my hometown has become. The city of Detroit just plain disgusts me! I hate that I have to work down there and pay taxes (even though I DO NOT live there). All the money they take from me just goes down the toilet!

    No need to play the raaaaace card.
    This whole “keep failing upward” concept is a function of therapeutic culture.

    I suspect that most of the public school system in Detroit is geared toward day care for gang bangers than education of young people.

    Maybe I’m wrong, but I doubt it.
