I've lived in both Liverpool and Detroit, and I'd have to say Liverpool is very much like Detroit, although, to be fair, both Manchester and Liverpool have very similar qualities to Detroit.

Re: (313) re: Kwame OT
Hey Robin, I'd have to disagree with you on that. I spent 3 years in Liverpool, just moving back to Detroit 9 months ago, and the two cities have a lot of similarities even today, actually, especially today. The growth occurring in Detroit is symbolically similar to the growth occurring in Liverpool. Growth being stimulated by funding of the arts and social programs. Hundreds of millions of dollars being invested into Detroit through the Skillman foundation and the Bank of America. Hundreds of millions of pounds being invested by the EU Capital of Culture.

Re: (313) re: Kwame OT
Well, I'm from Liverpool. I've been in Mcr 10 years and spent 5 years in Sheffield and Leeds. I've only been to Detroit once though so can't claim to have seen it all. The pure neglect and dereliction has gone from a lot of the northern Uk cities now but 80s/90s Sheffield I felt was the most like the D I saw. They do share some similarity so I guess I'm not disagreeing. robin...

RE: (313) re: Kwame OT
So back to the thread topic, I just had lunch with one of kwame's childhood friends that lives here in the A. I wanted to hear something better about the situation from someone close to the source. turns out, it's MAD bad. Kwame, the girl he had an affair with AND her husband, were all childhood friends. So there was a bit of personal wackness going on as well. I asked my friend how he felt about the sitch and he said, basically kwame blew it. He got comfortable and let the position go to his head. Like when you feel very important and you act untouchable, then when things begin to touch you, you do things outside of your morals (usually called doing what I gotta do by those engaged) to try to maintain the illusion for fear it may crumble your image (meanwhile doing a great job of that all by yourself). And as is the norm in those situations, you're the last one to realize how bad you blew it. Usually it's too late to fix it. I could care less about the location of your dong, but fxcking your friends over (and their wives) is never forgive action where I'm from. Sucks. Kayess news network (KNN) Where you hear the real ish first! P.S. I hope this isn't inappropriate or offends anyone.

But one thing I do know, that I was taught as a young boy: A gentleman doesn't kiss and tell. Hauling someone up on perjury charges for trying to keep a private matter private is BS -- it's the same as Clinton's impeachment. It's not the same as Clinton's impeachment because of a whole string of reasons. Starting with 2 girls are dead, policemen were fired because they were trying to investigate the deaths, and then Kwame pushed the city into a lawsuit that cost the city more than $8mil during a trial where he was lying about the facts even before it even went to trial. I mean, if he really cared about the city, then he wouldn't have forced the city to pay $8mil+ for something that he was knowingly committing perjury for. Whatever the case, NPR and a number of other media stations are utilizing this Detroit political fight as a reference to the national US political mess we are experiencing in the presidential office. If you listened to NPR the day the Detroit news was announced, they spent the morning talking about Kwame, and they spent the afternoon taking callers who wanted to remember their loved ones who died in the Iraq war. People were making comments about how after Suddham was hanged, it should have been Bush and Chaney in the electric chair for the wrongdoings they've done. This went on for a few hours, with people talking about how the President and VP need to be impeached and tried for their war crimes. Symbolic. Detroit has a powerful effect on the globe. This trial with Kwame just may lead into the trial of the nations biggest criminals, Bush and Chaney. I think the world will be watching closely on this one. I hope this Detroit mess fuels the nations ability to get a trial together against Bush and Chaney, who have cost the nation billions in a war that was started from their lies. My 2 cents...

Re: (313) re: Kwame OT
Reading this I realize it's been quite a while since I've heard anyone speak hopefully about the future and simultaneously realistically about the present, which is refreshing and has significantly more to do with Detroit Techno and all motown music than any other discussion currently in progress on the 313 list. It's not the same as Clinton's impeachment because of a whole string of reasons. Starting with 2 girls are dead, policemen were fired because they were trying to investigate the deaths, and then Kwame pushed the city into a lawsuit that cost the city more than $8mil during a trial where he was lying about the facts even before it even went to trial. I mean, if he really cared about the city, then he wouldn't have forced the city to pay $8mil+ for something that he was knowingly committing perjury for. Whatever the case, NPR and a number of other media stations are utilizing this Detroit political fight as a reference to the national US political mess we are experiencing in the presidential office. If you listened to NPR the day the Detroit news was announced, they spent the morning talking about Kwame, and they spent the afternoon taking callers who wanted to remember their loved ones who died in the Iraq war. People were making comments about how after Suddham was hanged, it should have been Bush and Chaney in the electric chair for the wrongdoings they've done. This went on for a few hours, with people talking about how the President and VP need to be impeached and tried for their war crimes. Symbolic. Detroit has a powerful effect on the globe. This trial with Kwame just may lead into the trial of the nations biggest criminals, Bush and Chaney. I think the world will be watching closely on this one. I hope this Detroit mess fuels the nations ability to get a trial together against Bush and Chaney, who have cost the nation billions in a war that was started from their lies. My 2 cents...

I agree. I was in awe for a couple seconds and am still thinking about the very real possibilities that were just put forth. Thanks for that post. I didn't know that.

Hauling someone up on perjury charges for trying to keep a private matter private is BS -- it's the same as Clinton's impeachment.

In passing, speaking of The City: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,340939,00.html Yes, I too do not know all the facts, so can't make any comment either way, even were it my place to do so. And I'm not making any comment one way or the other about the source having anything to do with the veracity of the story. Not at all. Would never do that.
