The pre St. Patrick's Blarney about resisting new bars by Ellison. on Channel 4.

The chickens have come home to roost so to speak courtesy of an out of control non resident special interest bought and sold city. You must google why so many Royal Oak businesses are closing and visit the recent story shown on channel four's click on Detroit. You won't believe it.
Note the illegal U turn being made on Main at the beginning of the channel four video. That car would have been ticketed ten years ago. Read the comments that would have been deleted on a previous Patch whose editor was told that the city would sue AOL to stop the commentary about a mayor who runs unopposed for consecutive terms and a proposal for residents to write in "Batman" as an alternative protest candidate. That happened in Marseille France incidentally. 
That bloggers comments were censored and he was barred just two weeks before the final election.
I am going to pass the ball now if there is anyone out there still reading this zombie site. Let loose Duke and others who still take the time to think and comment here.
