Tyranny At Any Cost in Detroit

Michigan's Emergency Manager Law has led to the destruction of life for long-term Detroiters.[1] What the subprime mortgage crisis couldn't erase these days of feudalism are taking care of the rest. City of Detroit retirees are being told by their representatives that they have negotiated the best deal possible. What these representatives haven't said is that its their job to negotiate such a deal, even if it means recommending pensioners give up their rights to file legal protest. If the greater mass of votes coming back says the retirees are in favor of gagging those that say NO - then that's what is going to happen.

Can you imagine working on a deal that you really don't want to participate in? One that your legacy as a representative will tarnish your reputation. Emergency Management is like holding out an ice cream cone that's got strawberry ice cream and being told to choose it, even though you are allergic to strawberries. There's no alternative choice altered through these dictates. The retirees are going to hurt like it or not. But there is hope and it happened in reverse already - so a double reverse could bring back the question of justice.

This is what happens when the mainstream media chooses or is TOLD not to reveal the story in full depth. Some people are going to get hurt in the process and it will certainly include the innocent dragged down by insufficient reporting.
