You are demonstrating the trait that most clearly illustrates the reasons for Detroit's failures. I am speaking of Detroit the city, and "Detroit" the mythological seat of the automotive gods. Detroit is the automobile's Mount Olympus, and you are allowing it to be over run by the vengeful Titans. Much like the Tennessee Titans do to the Lions. That needs to stop.

Detroiters need to think BIG picture, grandiose daring dreams of a great metropolis! Detroit was once known as the Paris of the Midwest? Screw that. Detroit must be come the Istanbul of North America! Standing astride the Straits of Detroit as if they were a New World Bosporous. God damn it, annex Windsor! It is already a part of the international metropolis!

In one fell swoop Detroit could:
eliminate the onerous need for cumbersome "passports" across the immoral "Maple SyrupCurtain";
Right size Detroit's population and increase the tax base;
Control all gambling in the area;
Destroy the powerbase of Matty Moroun;
Save the Lafayette building;
Gain health care for all citizens;
Redevelop the Packard plant;
End the wrangling over same sex marriage;
Improve abortion access;
End the application of "Chem-trails" overhead;
Increase contact with our UFO visitors;
Increase the customer base at Eph's, Good Girls, and MCB;
Save the United Auto Workers from extinction;
Create super demand for high fidelity stereo publications.

Perhaps an excellent way to begin this rapproachment would be an exchange of Lego brick sculptures, a la US- China ping-pong matches under Nixon. I would like to know if there is an online petition that we can sign to let the mayor and city council know how we feel about this initiative.

By the way, what are the taxes like in Windsor compared to Detroit?
