Ordinarily we are slow to support government involvement between private transactions, but this one has merit. As it is, small groups are able to control the free flow of commerce. This makes the proposed legislation something which would free up rather than restrict the markets for concerts and sporting events. That makes it a good thing.
Speaking of concerts and events, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra is scheduler to hold five free concerts later this year in the Detroit area. They apparently been off strike since April of 2011! We apologize, but we didn't notice. It does make us wonder how many others didn't notice either.
A reader pointed out, in response to our article yesterday, that the Detroit Occupiers do not own the buildings which they currently occupy. If he thinks this helps their position, well, it doesn't. If they're squatters, whether on city but especially if they're on private property, then they should be given the boot. If the properties have been donated for their use, then the Occupiers are hardly true to their principles. But we have become accustomed to this sort of inconsistency among, particularly, the extreme left. They want what they want solely because they want it, and such minor thing as consistency about philosophy are beneath them.
Kwame Kilpatrick must go on trial. Again. US Federal courts have said so. We don't know why and we don't care. We just want the Kilpatrick circus to move on. Detroit has enough issues without having him dragged through the legal system again and again. Perhaps there is good reason to keep up the pursuit. We don't care about that either. It's time to let Detroit move on, even if it means letting him skip out on a few things. We need to let it go, for our god, not his.
Neil Armstrong has passed away at the age of 82. He was, as we all know, the first man on the Moon. Godspeed, Mr. Astronaut. Godspeed.
