In a state surrounded by great lakes

known even more for its crumbling

infrastructure (as experienced par-

ticularly in its ubiquitous pot holes)

than for the bumbling legislature,

which lets the infrastructure crumble,

it is comforting to know that there

still exists equality under the law.

On a harrowing spring-time drive

on a lakeside road, a couple

noticed the only patched-up pave-

ment on the many mile drive along

a lovely inland lake was directly in

front of a billionaire’s waterfront

compound, proving once again that

the law is better than equal; it’s

even more equal for some than for

others. Well, isn’t that the

AM-erican WAY?
