You're not THAT old if you remember...
Well, I just turned 45 and I VIVIDLY remember all that crap...
I'm not the slightest bit shocked about Metro (and I DID grow up in NY)...There's only SO many sources that HUGE sums of $ can come from and I already KNOW who the cement, real estate, factory owners/GMs, higher paid docs/lawyers/dentists, and grocery chain owners are!
I'm just really curious. There I go driving by in my sloppy jalopy (but it runs--most, okay much of the time) to the orphanage and couldn't help but notice! It's not like they don't try and advertise when they (the drug police) are making an arrest. There were more lights on than on a Christmas tree. Metro's office must have been having a corporate heart attack because this was done in view of the hwy and where all the residents pass through.
Humm...wonder if anyone is going to try and pay me to be quiet the next time? Everyone HAS a price, right? <g> sigh...no, I'll just have an "accident" (hey, I grew up with too many relatives in the Italian Mafia.)
Paz y salud,

"Bush Sr/CIA and Oliver North" and lets not forget Reagan Mr. "I dont remember anything"....oh the 80's there were drug dealers of all colors right next door and down the street feeding campaign contributions to the Republican party in the 80's in VA/DC...I lived it got so bad one of our high school principals got caught smoking crack and the funny part was the head principal owned the crack houses he was smoking in....that mysteriously burned down......oh the 80's Iran Contra...the hippocricy hearing Oliver was a hero...what a joke...
Even Motorola admitted they got their start from "beepers" (skypagers) and the drug dealer industry hell...how do you think MIA was built...a good documentary is "Cocaine Cowboys".
Man, I am getting old....I used to remember living in a middle class neighborhood and drug dealers down the streets and addicts knocking on your door saying their car broke down...I need $20...yeah right.
In other words "only in the DR" that stuff happens everywhere.
