Constructive criticism

Re: Jack Lessenberry’s “Potholes on the campaign trail” (Metro Times, March 24), who is John Kerry? And what can he do for me?

Beneath the surface campaign rhetoric, John Kerry and George Bush have led very similar privileged lives. Both are descended from British royalty, the Bush family from the Tudors, while Kerry’s from James I. The wealth of both families can be measured in the hundreds of millions. Both are Ivy-League educated and lived jet-setting youths.

I do not see how they are that different, or more importantly, how they have apparently come to be so distinct.

A German friend of mine who used to work at the Holocaust Memorial Center in West Bloomfield quipped during the 1996 election, “American politics are boring. The rest of the world does not see the differences between your two parties.”

I highly doubt that the election of Kerry or Bush will have any impact on Detroit’s destiny between 2005 and 2009. I for one would appreciate less predictable political stereotyping in your weekly columns and a little more “construction.”
