Pardon me, but there is not one single ounce of true concern for the people of South Central LA in your article, and probably not even your body. You are pro business, and that's it. The people, and their elected officials, of whom the City Council and Mayor certainly are (just like that a-hole Bush is our president), have the right and responsibility to take action that is the best interest of the people who elected them. IF those people decide they made a mistake they have means to have the ban overturned or done away with. Last time I checked, businesses never elected anyone in this country. Or, have they? hmmm....
