Pumps' Perplexities

In the olde days of NYC Mr. Moses got things done......If the road
was coming through, you had two months to get out of your
house, take what little money he offered and moved......Such
is not the case some 60-70 years later......Now everybody
has "legal rights".......

In the 80's and 90's it took one town 20 years to get water
because of "legal rights".......This is what is going to happen
to the rebuilding of New Orleans........

Let's face it......"Legal rights" = "money"........While the lawyers
and politicians fight over "legal rights" the people who would
benefit from these "rights" will suffer.......

In the day of Robert Moses people, bitched, moaned and
complained but the "work" got done for the common good......
Today, the longer you bitch about your "legal rights" the longer
you still live in a trailer.......When the trailer falls apart, you
can bitch again......In the end you never really get a new
"home".......Pumps
