It Won't Be Too Long

At the end of 2008 I had really high hopes for 2009. After two months and four days of the New Year, I have to say it has kind of sucked. Yesterday was not a good day in the city for a few different reasons. One story in particular really bothers me. I can’t believe this woman was found not guilty. It bothered me so much two years ago and now it’s bothering me again. It’s a shame her son got convicted and she didn’t. If anything she should have did more time than he’s going to do because it’s obvious he never had a chance. I guess that’s the justice system at work. Then there’s this whole thing at City Hall. I am not going to talk about the particulars. I am just going to say that black people in positions of influence owe it to all the people who defend their reputations to at least come clean and be upfront about what you are doing before you make everyone look stupid. If I didn’t know for a fact that there was 80% of the population in the city holding everything together in spite of what’s going on at the top and bottom I would be inclined to seek another place to live. With the economic trouble going on I might end up in a place that’s headed for worse trouble than New Orleans. Let’s take the optimistic view that all of this is just the last few pains in a process leading to a new direction. I hope that’s the case and that the Crown Royal company doesn’t fall on tough times because we need lots of it. There’s only one year left until the next elections.
