In light of foreclosures and $350,000 1 BR condos and rising gas prices and food and everything else I enclose this photo of artwork on the side of what was the Farmers and Mechanics Bank in Minneapolis. I pass by this almost everyday. The bank has been transformed a number of times. It went from Farmers and Mechanics to F&M to First Bank to USBank and now it is a luxury hotel with valet parking out front. This is what happens to the few good things that are created for working people. Noblesse obtained. They have to have it all. Three and four vacation homes; luxury this and that. Glitz and greed. That must be the malady my sister succumbed to in her quest for fame(?) or whatever it is she seeks. Look around you. Youth, pure physical beauty, greed and lack of social awareness is what have brought our society to the brink. Those who have choose not to think about those who do not. Calvinism at its rampant best.
