things are the way they are for a reason

Ever wonder how Detroit is such a mess? why they have such a large debt? Here is my take as to why...

1) they still care about what text messages from the Kwame scandal get released to the public... really? who cares. when i see breaking news only to see "Kwame text messages to be released next week" i get angry like really is this what we care about?

2)They have a bunch of council members who call each others drunks, "shut the (expletive) up" and asked if she "needs a man", maybe if council dealt with their anger rather than firing insults at each other somethign would get accomplished. watch the video here. I guess if they stuck with taking anger out on each other they wouldnt feel the need to use explosives though.....

3) By far this is what bugs me the most. Detroit council and mayor decided that they needed to "call for the emergency demolition of the Michigan Central Depot". In addition the one moron councilor i would like to point out is Barbara Rose Collins. "We can't wait any longer," said Councilwoman Barbara-Rose Collins, who sponsored the resolution. "It's been an eyesore for too long."
-how is one of Detroit's most fascinating buildings an eyesore due to neglect. If anything this building being vacant since 1988 looks better than half the bloody city.
- Why is this such a time pressing issue, by the sounds of it its not going anywhere. Besides maybe if the current owner was allowed reign on his own property it would probably be a casino as he intended.

Not to mention the 3.6million dollar bill for demolition being fronted by the economic stimulus bill.... NO WONDER YOU ARE IN MILLIONS IN DEBT YOU ARE SPENDING IT ON "EMERGENCY DEMOLITION"! Here's an idea so revered councilors, shut the hell up about text messages, telling each other to find a man, or destroying one of Detroits best architectural finds and instead concentrate on issues at hand like not leeting your city burn to the ground taking everyone with it. Atleast if you leave this building up there will be something left in detroit once it becomes a ghost town.
