Ellison: My thoughts about where Detroit is today? I mean the real story of Detroit is, Ford, GM and Chrysler basically used Detroit to make a lot of dough. And when they could take advantage of relatively lower-wage places around the world, they went there. And abandoned the workers here. That’s it. You know, I mean it’s de-industrialization. And it didn’t have to happen. But it did happen, and so now what do we do? I think we’ve got to reinvest in Detroit, and we’ve got to make sure that pensioners don’t suffer, that people get water. That the basic needs of the people of this community are taken care of. And Detroiters know how to work, man, they built autos for generations here. And they can build anything, they can build solar panels, they can make stuff. But it’s a matter of will, and political organization.

"There is no question that the HIV/AIDS crisis is behaviorally induced, and that changing sexual behavior is central to getting this epidemic under control," [Fischer] added. "If there is any lesson about homosexuality to be taken from this tragedy, it is this. Homosexual behavior kills, and the sooner we alert young men to this the more compassionate we will be and they longer they will live."

[...] The accident broke all of [Anthony] Olivery’s ribs on his left side, cut his spleen, bruised his kidney and caused severe injuries to his left arm and leg.
