I'm an enthusiast for public transit. Everyone buying two tons of steel and glass is simply not a sustainable transportation plan. It's helped bring us to the looming collapse of what's quaintly called 'western civilization'.

The National City Lines scandal is an aspect of this that most people are only peripherally aware of.

If you saw the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, you might remember that old-time Los Angeles had a fabulous streetcar system that went virtually everywhere in the metroplex. The movie's bad guys bought the streetcar company in order to shut it down, so people would need to buy cars and oil and build freeways instead. What Roger Rabbit forgot to say was, it's based on a true story.

In 1936, acting through proxy companies to keep things cloaked, General Motors established a new business called National City Lines (NCL). Also backed by Standard Oil, Mack Trucks, Phillips Petroleum, and Firestone Tire, NCL took control of numerous privately-owned transit systems

Getting pregnant out of wedlock was long seen as a disgrace in Catholic Ireland. By 1998, more than 50,000 women had had their babies taken away and given up for adoption. Many of these children are now trying to trace their birth mothers.

They are also fighting for their plight to be recognized at last. Contraception and abortion were long banned, sex before marriage taboo, and sex education was practically non-existent. If a woman, nevertheless, fell pregnant, she was generally treated as the "guilty” party even if she had been raped. Whoever was unable or unwilling to have an illegal abortion abroad had no further say over the matter. The priest was informed and he decided whether the woman would be thrown out on the street, or sent to one of the 18 Catholic mother and baby homes. Paul Redmond was born in one of those homes. He describes himself and others in a similar situation as "survivors” of a scandal that is still rocking Ireland. The 59-year-old keeps on returning to t

This is a documentary about single-room occupancy (SRO) hotels — places where you rent a room, but the toilet and shower are down the hall, and shared with all the other tenants. SRO's can be a huge help in fighting homelessness, because the rooms are so much cheaper than full-fledged apartments.

Being a former SRO resident myself, I was disappointed that the filmmakers seem to think SRO life is inherently tragic. The film keeps playing sad music, and bringing back one particularly scumbag owner to let him drone on a little longer about how he dislikes his line of work and his customers.

There are some lowlifes in any SRO, sure, but it's better for them and better for the city that they're not on the streets.

It's a rare topic to be addressed, and other than the moviemakers' anti-SRO slant, the documentary is helpful and informative.
