To be right is not always popular…To be popular is not always right.”

Being “popular” is not always right in the social word. Some people think that being popular is doing bad things and making fun of people and other stuff. A type of popularity can be right. If people like you because your nice and do good things is a different type of popularity. If I’m so called “popular” than i would not like to be so in a bad manner but be popular in a good way.

Can’t bury bodies in Detroit.

Posted in Uncategorized on October 1, 2009 by johnpestana

In the Wayne county morgue in Detroit there are 67 bodies that the victims families, not the county can afford to bury. The 67 bodies are sitting in the freezer in the morgue. Family members had to go down to the morgue to identify the body and say their final goodbyes. The number of bodies that have to be left in the morgue have tripled since 2000. It probably has to do with the 28% of unemployment in the area. It is the reflection of the economy at the moment. It is a terrible thing but we are going through some tough times.
