It has the state stumped for a answer. All I know is I don't like the growth plus something strange about the new people & their cars, they don't have ANY license plates. I've seen 2 cars like that in the neighborhood, very strange.<br /><br /><br />When 9/11 happened, I didn't feel unsafe. With bin laden dead, it didn't make me change either. And I'm with you, i don't want or need to see any pics. I also knew that the Creep Show (Rep party) would do various spins about this.

People don't usually move too far from where they were planted as long as there are jobs. My dad, on the other hand, was a railroader and a new assignment/territory would often necessitate a move. During my parents' 18-year marriage we moved four times. And when they divorced, there was discussion of moving to Madison, Wisconsin where no doubt I'd be picketing. LOL<br />I spent a lot of time in the Detroit area a few years ago and the suburbs are thriving. The decline of the auto industry has taken a toll on the city. <br /><br />I don't feel safer either with bin Laden dead -- anyone who does is naive. There are plenty more terrorists around the globe. I feel safe where I am. The Arabs in my area are mostly doctors and businessmen very nice people who are dedicated to the community. Some people just have to have a bogeyman. I just wish Obama would put on his 'game face' (scary) and use it to protect us with decent health care and fair taxes! And I don't want to see the pictures either -- if the Seals say they killed him, you can take that to the bank.Kay Dennisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02646717192332313215noreply@blogger.com
