permaculture

["Robert Waldrop" <bwaldrop@cox.net>]

I didn't make anything up.  I read what you wrote 
and that was the conclusion i reached.  If you had 
wanted me to get a different message, you should 
have done a better job of explaining your views. 
Looking at your amplified explanation, I still 
think it is incorrect.  I don't think there is 
anything "unemotional" about the use of urban 
renewal schemes to disposses the poor.  I think it 
is deliberate tactic employed as a tool of 
conscious racist bigotry.
