Sigh.... I do not dispute the activities. I side-eye the use of the word "flee", although it appears to be an accurate description. It's the loaded sentiment of the term "flee" that is irksome, as it is still used today. Loaded with a victim mentality. Is "escape" a better word?

I suppose the more productive way to look at it is this: one should be grateful one had/has the resources to "flee". Just go and don't let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya. Alrighty then.

Back on topic: bussing [[or busing--the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary uses either word): good or bad for Detroit?

Go, but send money back.
