Re: February 13, 2013 article, "New panel to explore options for
improving Belle Isle"
Dear Editor:
Detroit City Council President Pugh wants to form a "new panel" to
explore options to improve Belle Isle. Not surprisingly, Councilwoman
Joann Watson endorses this idea, and in fact wants to be on this
panel. The only three duties of this panel should be, in order:
1) Profusely apologize to the Governor, the people of Michigan, and
Detroiters for the Council's collective stupidity in failing to
approve a lease with the State;
2) Plead with the Governor to rescind his withdrawal of the proposed lease; and
3) Approve the lease without delay.

The philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre once wrote that "Hell is other people." In the firm belief that Sartre was right, I will periodically identify those people who create Hell on earth! This designation is not a traditional award. It certainly is not an achievement; rather, it's a mischievement. It's not something that one strives for; nor is the designation won. By action or words or both, certain people deserve metaphorical, if not actual, eternal damnation. Enjoy.
