Our Failing Democracy

The city of Detroit has become a wastland, something out of the movies Road Warrior and Blade Runner. Its main industries are casnio gambling, narcotics trafficing and prostitution. When Mike Illich a member of Detroits mafia and owner of both the Detroit Tigers and a gambling casino envisioned this new Detroit he wanted to create an enviroment that provided a complete entertainment package where you could gamble, get high and get a piece
of ass all in the same evening. And he has succeeded beyond what anyone thought possable. He also ruined what was left of Old Detroit a great industrial city in creating this new Detroit. The average person in metropolitan Detroit has taken a horrible beating in this transciton. They have lost there jobs and there homes and yet they still vote for mafia backed polititcans. Have they learned anything? If a candidate isnt corrupt or a crook they think he nuts and wont vote for him. And yess your average potlicker in Michigan overwhelmingly supports casion gambling and worships the ground Mike Illich walks on. At the same time the schools are a mess and children arent getting educated and jobs leave much faster than they are created. Demcracy isnt working in Michigan or in the country as a whole. Its a great system and idea but your average potlicker has no interest in it. A system where civic organizaations pick the office holders might be a better one for the potlicker generation. That may head off a totaliatiarn government or worse a dictorshipp.
