I've hated this little bastard since his name was Giuliani. You know, New York in the 70s and 80s wasn't crime-free, but it was a lot more alive and more fun and wasn't just the place where rich people went to own multi-million dollar condos. It was human and livable. There was probably more street crime, but then there were fewer billions being stolen by the wealthy, so the crime aspect balances out. I remember having the best times in New York in the 80s especially when I was in my twenties and working in Midtown and partying all night in Midtown and out in Brooklyn in the Park Slope area. Yes, Bryant Park was overrun with drug dealers, but they rarely shorted you so I don't know why they ran out the honest entrepeneurs making an honest living the way they did. Frankly, they can shove the whole fashion industry up its own collective ass, because the drug dealer were more respectable.
I did have a point. The point was that, for all the jibber-jabber about "freedom" these days, this country is a hell of a lot less free than it used to be and the more Republican government we have, the more it strangles people's ability to just do what they please and live their lives. Believe me, a few hundred chain snatchers in 1980 limited freedom way less than the tens of thousands of cops sniffing up everyone's backside that we have now.
