desperate things, and anger/aggression moves in when hopes moves out. So, don't
move out Dyna, keep working to speed the renaissance! Join the PEACE Foundation
and its allies. Give time and money to non-profits that are attempting to ease
the pain. Vote DFL and then hold them accountable to Democratic values. When we
fulfill our social responsibilities, we will better enable personal
responsibility.
Luanne,
I agree: let's enable personal responsibility. While it's easy for liberals to
blame all of society's ills on Republicans, I'd ask you to take a deeper look
at the city's leadership. What majority party makes up your city council (and
has for the past how many years)? Democrats, and some Greens. What hope has
this party and ideology achieved after years of majority rule and legislation?
Perhaps you should try voting for a conservative and see what they can do for
Minneapolis. We all want peace, but berating those who believe in a different
solution to a problem is hardly helpful — especially when your party has been
the cause of our current state. The city is populated mostly by liberals and
run by liberals, and what do we have to show for it? Who really is to blame?
The change you're living now is the change the DFL caused (and promises every
election to fix). Albert Einstein once said “The definition of insanity is
doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”. We
the people deserve better.
