Memories of Yale Michigan... -
2/8/2014Well it's been a long time Yale and I guess I'll never forget being forced to attend your inferior public school system and never being able to see a doctor or lawyer when I needed one. I can remember taxes being equal. Even though I can assure you that I had no services, no bus across town and no support systems for poor me e.g. public safety net. There were about two police for the whole town and hundreds of criminal types. I was always afraid for my life when I was in or near town, because of the bullies. I was very happy to leave and never look back. I do desire compensation damages for ever being made to spend a day in that creepy place.
Yale is the kid of place that people who have the least tolerance used to seek out to live. That way they could keep their homes there and drive long distance to and from their work which was usually in neighborhoods in and around Detroit, where they refused to live. Why? Because they had no tolerance of others. So what happened in Yale and similar small towns is that the least tolerant people collect there and form communities of hatred and intolerance such as Yale is.
I left Yale for safety, my education my future employment and for the rest of my life. The police there turned a blind eye that I was being abused and exploited as child farm labor (slavery) and the girlfriend who was to be my tutor and probably at least my college chum and maybe fiancee one day was murdered. Good bye to you my sweet princess you will live in my heart always. There was always drugs and guns in Yale, when I left you could buy a handgun at a lot of stores for cash and carry. I'm talking about .357 magnums etc. Of course that was so long ago.
Then there was the 4-R Yale Public School system. Well you might just as well consider home education. For one thing boys and girls shouldn't be schooled together following puberty because as I recall it didn't work. So it was just a bad scheme and a big waste of tax dollars. I would have needed a business and legal education coming out of Yale Public Schools to make it in this world. The sort of education that I left with was just good enough to get myself a wage slaves occupation and almost killed as a hated, Yankee volunteer. The other states hated me and I got to find out the hard way. Besides that public schools education was just bad. I found out later in college what it was missing and that was a great deal. No food to speak of except in my senior year. No coffee, I had ADD and it may have helped. Oh yeah and they never tried to solve my learning disorders, they just made me a bad example of everything. The little farm boy scapegoat. I can remember trying to pretend to be someone else to escape punishment which was daily like a juvenile detention center.
The town police were okay, they were there doing their job and I don't have any bad remarks about them except there were only 2 when 20 or more were needed. The Yale that I remember was a real corrupt, little town. Communities of intolerance tend to be that way. They are like pirate coves.
We had good town doctors back then, but my parents were abusive and I did not get to see them often enough. I can remember sneaking a lot of alcohol underage back then to deal with the abuse and being sick a lot. Now as an adult I lead a clean and sober lifestyle, I don't smoke and I try and make it to church on some Sundays. Well I'm working on that one.
I can try being Christian about it and forgiving all of the harm by that town, it's school system and my bullies from back then etc. One is in prison for life thank Christ! But just like anyone else who has experienced harm I'd prefer to be compensated for it. But Christians shouldn't be too greedy right?
I suggest staying in the suburbs for the best American life. Amen. Save the country for camping trips and outings. Living out there is dangerous. You have to have strategies and tolerance of extreme temperature ranges and be prepared to be snowed in and have good food stores etc. And for those of you who live there I know that you were about 50% good and it was the rest who were evil. Hey it's not too late to get out, I did it and I left broke and without a college degree. I'm ashamed that I left some good friends behind too, but I recall that you were as capable as I and although I am not there for you now and we have not talked for many years, if you want out there is a way. Why live paying the same taxes that people who live in the city with services pay? We got nothing but bills and grief out there. Also you are in my heart always.
We who lived there know that existing in a free nation does not make a small town like Yale a better small town. It attracts a lot of creeps like motorcycle gangsters and creepy opportunists who are free to try and steal your shirt and get your wives pants down because they have no conscience.
Good riddance Yale Michigan!
I'll pray to Christ for the salvation of those good mixed in with the bad who I had to leave behind when I left.
Regards,
A free Christian
