Hazards of Going To The Shopping Mall
I’m a shopaholic. Friends and family count on me to keep them abreast on the latest trends (pink is the new black!) and inform them of any mega sale. My friends though have stopped asking me if I want to shop or hang out at the mall. While I love shopping as much as ever, the inconvenience of going out, the temptations of the stores and the behavior of some patrons are but a few of the reasons that put me off shopping at the mall. To begin with, I just don’t enjoy the general hassle of making a trip to the local complex. Since the construction boom, many shopping malls have mushroomed around the city, leaving its residents spoilt for choice. The novelty of these gargantuan, shiny complexes has yet to ware off because almost everyday, there are massive traffic jams, comprised of vehicles making their way into the multi storied parking lot, with drivers jostling each other for that elusive parking spot. Most of the time, I find myself driving around in circles until I spot another driver backing out. Then it’s time to brave the crowd of mall rats, whose jostling ways earlier in the car park seem to have grown more aggressive now that they are forced to fight for 21st century human essentials: Shoes!

Kibera, Kenya… eminent domain… Obama's homelessness prevention… doesn't anybody get the connection?
Nobody knows what the "homelessness prevention" program is. We just know that our city has received billions of dollars from Obama’s trillion dollar stimulus to fund it.
The Kibera project involves moving the poor into public housing and DEMOLISHING THEIR HOMES.
The excuse given is that their homes are "shabby" construction, "shacks," a "public hazard," and so on.
Oh, my house doesn’t conform to the latest trends in interior decorating. Is it "shabby?" And somebody on a bicycle might crash into my mailbox and get hurt. Is my home a "public hazard?"
Does any of this remind you of the "eminent domain" controversy over "shabby" houses, which went to the Supreme Court before common sense prevailed?
Is Obama using homelessness to renew the eminent domain land grab attempt that was made by the ultra wealthy?
Kami, I re-posted it for your benefit, because you answered before I filled in the details.
I respected you because yours was the only answer that didn’t outright bash me.
Now you’ve done it, too.
