Detroit exists to make Toledo look habitable
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Not really (you hear about the proposed Robocop Statue) if they can keep up the trend they're on routing out corruption and actually dealing with their budget shortfalls I suspect Detroit will revive.

Well CP, it looks to me from the little I've read about the current political situation in Detroit, that after a series of incompetent and/or corrupt mayors, (culminating with the thoroughly loathsome Kwame "Detroit's Marion Barry" Kilpatrick) that the people of Detroit have in Dave Ping, a man who just might have the right blend of personal integrity and managerial know-how to drain the swamp and get that once great city back on a positive course.

Yeah, that was a typo...

Former NBA star and very successful businessman.

He really seems like a "grown up" who knows what he's doing and genuinely wants to help re-build the city rather than line his pockets.
