And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I will say though will not visit tis really cool such a large part of the city is park,now,just have it a pleasant/safe park and you would be getting somewhere!
It used to be the greatest (bar none) coty in the world. In a radius of just a couple of miles you had the the NY Yankees, the NY Giants, and the Brooklyn Dodgers; tell me of just one other city like that. In Manhattan itself, within just a couple blocks walk, you could sit down and eat whatever cuisine from anywhere in world, quality, not sh*t. From the Battery (actually The Village) to Harlem, if you could afford a night out-on-the town, you could see plays, operas, music from jazz to classical all with a few square miles. Colleges, universities, trade schools, hospitals - some perhaps the best in the world. Religions living cheek by jowl with nary a dirty look. Sneer, if you will, but NY's people and accomplishments stand, along with the Empire State Building and Statue of Liberty, as something that was (yes! was) unique.
It is amazing to me that Americans will tell anyone willing to listen that they love their country are none the less first in line to say that New York (and any American city for that matter) is the worse part of the planet, Never mind that most of you have not been to New York City this century. At the same time hundreds of thousands of foreign tourists visit New York every year and love the city.
Seems like most of you should turn off OAN, Fox, etc and go see the place with your own eyes. Those that see the city in person love it.
You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.

Not interested, but thanks. Too many folks, even if they were all good folks.
