City of Tears
Mr. Blow did not mention the recent report of school test scores that show Detroit 4th and 8th grade students scored the very lowest in the nation. Their graduation rate is somewhere around 20%. Mist want to blame teachers but the blame really belongs on the lost of two parent homes. Single mothers who won't see that their children get to school every day, do homework where appropriate, cooperate with teachers, are to blame. Something needs to be done to right the wrong of illegitimacy. The churches should be first in line. The next thing Detroit needs to do is place less emphasis on sports. They have buiit new football and baseball stadiums , are looking to build new a new hockey rink and probably a new basketball arena. These are fine but Detroit seems to make this the do-all and be=all. Life is not about playing games it is creating responsible,honest humans. Detroit doesn't have that. Look at the action of their disgraced former mayor; many in the city think he was cool. Mayor Bing is working to right those wrongs.
- A dead city. A corrupt corps.

Disputed Deal Puts Yellowstone Bison on Ted Turner’s Range
How about whales, seals, fish? Turner will do a better job than the parks service and we won't have to pay him a fat retirement. Sounds ok if we can go on his land to see our bison. How about that Ted?
- How will he make it pay?
- No news.
- Face-book is not a service.

Don’t Bring Home the Bacon
A new Harvard study that found no increased risk of heart disease among meat eaters is generating a lot of buzz for red meat. “A Guilt-Free Hamburger,” reads one headline. “Order the Steak,” begins another.
- The big differences were the levels of sodium and chemical preservatives. Processed meats had about four times more sodium and 50 percent more nitrate preservatives than unprocessed meats. Only that? cut the serving!
