how are we rich, exactly?

We still haven't repaired the damage from Katrina. Why?

"Patriots" will bristle if you suggest the Europeans would've rebuilt faster. If not, why haven't we, if we're so rich? I bet a lot of ppl would say "oh, it's b/c N'awlinz is a hell-hole that no one would invest in." OK, but if it's so crappy it couldn't be expensive, and being so wealthy, surely we could afford to write off the costs!

Oh yeah, and the only thing holding back under-privileged Detroiters from having white picket fences of their own are those dang strip clubs! I'm going to start a fully-nude, alcohol-serving club called "White Picket Fences", complete with a wholesome, "Golden Era" theme (well, focused on the 50's/60's post-WWII boom time). Maybe a future club can feature "Grannies Who are Trannies" and have a "Golden Gurlz" theme.

Being ignorant and close-minded about sex, while doing nothing to prevent half-deranged people from buying firearms, has a lot more to do with economic inequality than strip clubs - just ask the Dutch!
