YOU CONSTANTLY NOTICE THINGS THAT SEEM CRAZY
A DEVELOPER WANTS TO BUILD NINE 20-STORY APARTMENT BUILDINGS ACROSS FROM YOUR HOME, ON LAND THAT YOU WERE TOLD IS FOR A PARK,
THE CITY EXPECTS YOU AND YOUR NEIGHBORS TO TELL THEM WHY IT’S A BAD IDEA
AND YOU WONDER…
YOUR ADULT DAUGHTER HAS BEEN DEPORTED TO TO A TOWN IN MEXICO, WHERE SHE’S NEVER LIVED, THEY SAID IT’S BECAUSE SHE WAS BORN IN GUADALJARA BEFORE YOU EMIGRATED. SHE GREW UP IN YOUR SAN PEDRO NEIGHBORHOOD, AND TEACHES ENGLISH AT THE SCHOOL SHE ATTENDED AS A CHILD.
AND YOU WONDER…
THE EARTH IS WARMING, IT’S TIME FOR ACTION
THEY SAY YOU HAVE TO PAY TO PLAY
