We're both on the same page here, I think. I just feel more optimistic because it's like taking a bunch of failing students and getting them to at least get C's. I'm still weary of them, still waiting for the big blow up that always seems to happen in Detroit politics [[maybe Mary Sheffield will start pointing shotguns at her bae??), but more optimistic than 5 years ago. I mean honestly, if you had told 2006 me that we'd have gone bankrupt, elected a [[white) mayor who won a write in campaign, passed council by districts, had a council elected that wasn't a bunch of complete screw ups [[they are just moderate, functional screw ups now :)), were starting a CURBSIDE recycling program, etc... I would've called you a complete idiot. No doubt.
