<< The Germans used very similar tactics when they created the Warsaw Ghetto for Jewish people. The Germans also probably had some excuse about Jews preferring to live with only Jews. No matter how you sweet coat it with empty rhetoric, it is still discriminatory and wrong. The City of Minneapolis needs to open up the more affluent "Arian" neighborhood's walls in an affirmative manner. Minneapolis has engaged in a pattern of protecting its "better" neighborhoods from such supportive housing. I am sure the Germans also thought they were "protecting" and listening to their "better" citizens. >> I am satisfied with Jim Graham's appropriate example of brutal policy, above. Since he resides in a war zone I grant him some liceanse. I am sure Professor Graham meant "Aryan" neighborhoods, OK. Mr. Bonham's attempt at correction, that the Warsaw Ghetto was in Poland, appears misdirected regarding the above statements of Mr. Graham. Mr. Bonham's point that the Warsaw Ghetto existed well before Hitler, or Germany, is true of course. But Hitler made the Warsaw ghetto into the "Warsaw *G*hetto". Speaking of war zones: I gained a new bullet hole addition to my "West Broadway bullet hole collection". This bullet entered the house through a first floor sidewall toward the back of the house last week. It passed 3 or 4 inches above the lavatory in the first floor half bath, and hit the bathroom door. Small caliber. AND on the approximate one year anniversary of the last bullet hole that entered this particular house. Happy anniversary. The previous bullet entered the three season porch, in the front of this house on Penn Av. N. That medium caliber bullet passed over the back of one lounge chair, went diagonally across the room and into the wall just above the back of another chair. I lost the tenant both times; that is, they moved. Penn 2xxx, 4br 1 1/2 ba, available NOW, refs req, quiet tree lined street. _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A Civil City Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
