The solution is simple: make a list of every place a storm sewer is connected to to a sanitation sewer, a finite number. Then plan to disconnect them one at a time. Meanwhile, line sewers and laterals so they won't leak ground water during rain storms. Not very glamorous, but necessary to stop polluting the lake. But is isn't happening. They also have fresh water pipes leaking, and creating sink holes which swallow one or more cars at a time. The city is falling apart. But they are squeezing car lanes to make pedestrian lanes. Seems most bicyclist would ride as close to traffic as possible. They must have heard stories of people being doored and were more scared of parked cars than moving cars.Milwaukeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14830345164697669429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-75610165106932658482011-07-05T21:14:53.037-05:002011-07-05T21:14:53.037-05:00"Hear nothing, know nothing."
This is p..."Hear nothing, know nothing."<br /><br />This is probably more accurate. Like VDH always points out in CA, as in Pogo's quote, they simply deny it's happening because they don't know what to do without being called racists or acknowledging that parts of the city have reverted almost to a feral state. <br /><br />Then change the definition of crime, and the crime rate goes magically down (like the inflation rate)!PatCAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08920623662477828662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-84097194668272633022011-07-05T21:09:03.972-05:002011-07-05T21:09:03.972-05:00Parts of Milwaukee are the poster child of failed ...Parts of Milwaukee are the poster child of failed Democratic policy.

Prejudices appear from many of the locals when Sticks turns out to be black.<br /><br />Ralph and Potsie go to Fonzie's place and tell him no one is coming to the party because Sticks is colored. Fonzie goes down to Arnold's and everyone raises their hand when he asks who is going to the party. After Fonzie, Potsie, and Ralph leave, Bag asks how many people's parents have told them not to go and how many aren't going, and everyone raises their hands. Sticks and Kathleen arrive, and Joanie shows them around. Ralph comes in and says that no one is going to show up. Howard tells Fonzie that he can't fight prejudice just by going down to Arnold's and snapping his fingers. The party carries on with only a handful of people. Arnold comes to the party, and Potsie and the band sing "Honeycomb." <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwPNLau1i80#t=6m00s" rel="nofollow">Joanie does the limbo, and Fonzie does it even lower than her.</a></i>Wincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15002449963597087316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-13416836190833337582011-07-05T20:56:38.851-05:002011-07-05T20:56:38.851-05:00"There was an episode of the Andy Griffith sh..."There was an episode of the Andy Griffith show where Barney Fife was made temporary sheriff and he jailed everyone who was a bother."<br /><br />Actually, he jailed everyone who broke a law.

And, was watched by millions.<br /><br />The violence which Drudge does show ... happens to local stores in terrible neighborhoods. Where the "yoots" barrel in and grab what's handy. (Usually bottles of water which are kept up front. Sometimes, one broad scales the counter.)<br /><br />There was one video I saw that occurred in a drug store ... where there was a customer response, or so it seemed. Because I remember one black female losing her hair.<br /><br />Right then I discovered some females are gluing strands of hairs to their heads.<br /><br />It didn't end well for the "yoots," in that video, either.<br /><br />There's also the fact that if you look at the DC ghetto ... there are blacks who couldn't find their ways to the white house if you gave them a map!<br /><br />So, how is that control accomplished? Is it possible when "packs" make it out of the ghetto, drivers stomp on their gas pedals. And, then all you get are pedestrians who are run over?<br /><br />It's sort'a like road kill. But with road kill all you see dead ... down the middle of the roadway ... are small animals. (Usually moms who went out to hunt for food. Leaving little baby animals in their nests to starve to death.)<br /><br />Now, if you wanted to "solve" the problem? Take away welfare from any teenager's family if they happen to be carrying a cell phone. Or wearing $125 Nike sneakers.<br /><br />It's easy to spot people who are carrying paraphernalia they really can't afford. <br /><br />And, malls have already tightened up on their security. You can't get into the mall ... without first coming onto a private parking, parking lot.<br /><br />Yes. It's worse now to be born into someone's home who lives in the ghetto. Bless abortion. Or you'd see a worse population explosion.Carol_Hermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16629820011087370488noreply@blogger.com
