Greatness has nothing to do with positive or negative attainment but with the actual impact of a person's actions. Attila, Chairman Mao, Stalin, and Hitler were all great leaders, each debatable as being among the greatest of all time. Mr. Trump in his short tenure has shown he has similar abilities and his impact may yet outstrip them all.

That post could easily have been written by Bernie Sanders or Louis Farrakhan. <br /><br />The solution, naturally, is for those who escaped to move back into the zoo, thereby forfeiting the safety and literal lives of themselves and their families. But, they will be considered martyrs in Ole Pete's book, since they sacrificed all for the common good. <br /><br />It will later be said that they gave their all but contributed to the tax base, ushered in a return of booming business, shopping and sno-cone stands would increase exponentially and walking and jogging trails would equate with those found in Ridgeland. The Yellow Brick Road strategy has worked. <br /><br />We'll call it Ole Pete's Plan (Or maybe Ben Allen II). And all these sacrificial thousands will go down the shit tubes just like everybody else in the city whether the figure is 50,000 or Pete's suggestion of a much higher figure. <br /><br />Sometimes I think Ole Pete is that truck driver who ran for governor.

...OK pseudonymous at 8:42 - here's your wish. <br /><br />If the 50,000 (or whatever the number might be - that Priester mentioned having moved out of Jackson) were to move back in - which of course is what I said, not your misstatement of just "any" 50,000, over or underachievers - then the tax base would increase. The real estate market would level or improve. The businesses located in Jackson would probably increase both by those that moved back and by the purchasing that those individuals would add in the marketplace.<br /><br />There are plenty of other benefits if the population that has moved out were to return - most of whom were taxpaying residents. <br /><br />I would agree that one could increase the population without increasing the tax base - with the resulting lowering of the base. But (saying without screaming) the premise was for a return to the population that existed when Jackson was a 200,000 population city as opposed to the current 150,000+. If you think that the result would fit your narrative, I'll be glad to hear your retort whether it deals with the premise as originally proposed or if you choose to stick with your rewrite.Pete Perrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-45262525857939417692019-04-13T15:36:54.378-05:002019-04-13T15:36:54.378-05:00Priester said that the city would have to sue some...Priester said that the city would have to sue some of its own contractors. <br />Are they “Certified”?<br />Asking for a friend.

For the past 50 years or so it has become routine and expected for the best educated and most talented of young Black adults to leave Jackson and never look back. Most do just that. That's the advice they get and the example they follow. Especially in Jackson. It's part of Mississippi history and culture. At Jackson State no one expects to see the the top third of any graduating class hang around Jackson or remain in Mississippi. Mississippi does not represent a future to these people, only a desperate past. The only influx is the poor and uneducated from Mississippi's rural areas who still see anything, including Jackson, as an improvement over their deplorable condition. Every now and then, a talented intellectual type will take a wild chance and return to Mississippi, even Jackson, as a crusader but will find himself regarded like a Martian come to earth. I wish the councilman well, but he's got an uphill battle all the way. Blacks are distrustful of his motives and whites demand he be superman.<br />Uphill battle.

Pete seems to suggest a cure might be for 50,000 people to move back to Jackson. What the hell would that accomplish? <br /><br />There are two ways to water down a sociological realty to neutral or average. One way is to toss a lot of underachievers in with achievers (as in a community or a school district) and hope they will cause the pool to average out. The other way is to toss a lot of achievers into a pool of underachievers and hope they will cause the pool to average out. All either does is turn everything to a particular shade of dull and the result is a prescription for average at best (or socialism). <br /><br />Perry seems to believe the second 'cure' would be preferable.<br /><br />I will stand by and wait for Perry (as always) to scream that that's either not what he said or not what he meant in 3..2..1.
