I can so relate to Sheldon and his lack of grasping the norms of social interaction.

Yes, yes.  Welcome to the 9:30 Club Forum.

Mayor For Life Marion F Barry

Not to speak ill of the dead but it does indeed speak volumes of the electorate when a city will reelect someone mayor who is proven to be hooked on crack and/or meth.  RIP.

I will never understand why he was considered such a hero/champion.  Not because of the crack thing, but more because he was an out-and-out self-serving crook.

I'm betting he gets reelected and his nickname is changed to "Mayor in Life and Death"

My guess is because he fought for the rights of people that you wouldn't give two shits about and those people used to make up this city.

More likely his son Christopher takes the baton.  He's already got the drug, DUI, and B&E charges on his resume.

If by "fought for the rights of" you mean "used demagoguery to mask his penchant of blatantly using the city as an ATM for his friends, family, and political supporters," then I agree.

I care about all people.  I just don't think that giving people stuff for free is how to show you care for them.  I believe it is far better to empower them to improve themselves and make their lives better.  As one of our presidents once said, the best welfare program ever is a job.
