> For 15 years, from the mid 1970's to 1990, I worked in Detroit ,

> Detroiters walked through it, tossed more into it, and ignored

> With Aid to Dependent Children, minority women birthed eight to

> A new child meant a new car payment, new TV, and whatever mom

> Mayor Coleman Young, perhaps the most corrupt mayor in America ,
