    The difference between these processes is that the fuel from the plasma gasification process produces fuel that burns so cleanly in vehicles that the exhaust can be breathed. Processing LA's sludge could generate $1.5 million profit a week and reduce LA'a fuel requirements by 1%. What are the characteristics of the process you propose and the byproducts from its use?

    So, as I understand what you're saying, the opposite of black is competent, educated and decent? Really?

    The article left out the fact that predatory lending and subsequent foreclosures have massively contributed to the shrinking population and the crumbling tax base. People have been losing homes to mortgage and tax foreclosures all over the city. Plus, the article also failed to mention that the Governor cut revenue sharing to cities to plug holes in the state budget, cut money from schools and gave a huge tax cut to businesses. So now the state has a surplus but cities and school districts all over the state are struggling to stay within their available funds. The fact of the matter is this: No one can financially manage a city or a school district if the Governor and the banksters are strangling the cash flow. Not even the Magic Orr from Chevy Chase.

    Propaganda today is as effective as it was in the 1920's. Very few people are willing to look beyond the TV sound bytes to understand current events.

    If there was a poll, I'm sure most people believe that the US saved Iraq and everything there is just peachy.

    Most people still believe that Saddam Hussein was responsible for 9/11.

    The history of Emergency Managers (EM) in Michigan clearly indicates that it does not benefit the cities where they have been in power. So who have EMs benefited? They have benefited the banks, creditors, the EMs themselves and their friends. The EMs have only drained the cities dry. In the U.S., we pride ourselves in our democratic system. There is no justification, and should be no tolerance for Emergency Managers or anyone with dictatorial powers. Sign our petition at www.wh.gov/wGJK.
