Love comes naturally. Hate is learned. Agree/Disagree?

creative51 comments on Apr 14, 2019:

I agree. Hate is easy, it requires no critical judgment. Love requires you to think beyond the restrictions of society's expectations.

creative51 comments on Apr 13, 2019:

Great post, pictures and commentary. From about 1910 to 1928 Detroit was the Silcon Valley of its time. Fortunes were made and lots of people got very rich. Detroit fading from glory is complicated with many factors coming to bear on it. Today it really is coming back. It will never like that glory period, it is a different time, but its coming back holds many possible good opportunities. Hopefully they will be grabbed and a new and different time of wide spread prosperity will happen. Cities on major waterways and major borders tend , over time tend to do well as they are both transfer and transportation points, which lend themselves to significant economic activity. Detroit will come back. Really want to see your shots you may be taking today.
