....have a look at Detroit. Here's a city that was THE epicenter of American vehicle manufacturing. The pride of American can-do hoo-ha and all that jazz. In fact, I'm going to coin that phrase into a word to describe American arrogance: American Candohooha. I know, it sounds like a river back east, but let's use it anyway. American Candohooha supported a population of over a million people in Detroit. All kinds of snazzy buildings and houses. They thought it'd last forever. Kind of like the ghost towns you find out here where I live. They thought that would last forever, too, and now you need a topo map to find these places.
Detroit now has about 700,000 people. They had something like 70,000 abandoned buildings. People starting fires left and right in them, sometimes up to 30 fires a night. The fire department was stretched to the limit and finally, a new fire commissioner said let fires in abandoned buildings just burn. Don't fight them. Wake up, America: This is your future. Detroit declared bankruptcy. This is where all major cities are eventually headed. American Candohooha is the past. What, the federal government is coming to save you? Did they save Detroit? Think about it. If the federal government really cared about Detroit, do you think they'd have let an epidemic of arson like that continue? No. They'd have called it "terrorism" and there would have been tanks and troops patrolling those neighborhoods with orders to shoot arsonists on sight and they'd have sent in a thousand fire engines and an army of federal firefighters. ....

The end is near everyday for everybody. Can I have an Amen brother!
And fuck Detroit and Lew Rockwell.
