Okay peeps. I stubbornly stuck with the metal fence and the Historic District Commission approved it last Wednesday. Elevation of proposed design attached. Thanks for all the feedback (even though I ignored it). -Miles

I like the regular electoral system. This deal where we recall anyone that does anything that we don’t like is a dangerous precedent. Let them finish their terms and then replace them. Except for those that are refusing to do their jobs. It is an embarrassment.

Tracie, so religion is not reality? why, I’ve seen you pontificate on Sin right here in The Lounge…..

The left had their shot and they fumbled the ball, just like the right is currently doing. I would like there to be some tact by both sides so they can figure this stuff out without all the hate from the left and the zeal from the right. 
Turns out the majority of people are not far left or far right. There is so many of us with our own wants and…[Read more]

Me too! And how can we deny that fiscally the conversation is dominated by conservatives? The GOP considered it a compromise if they would agree to raise the debt ceiling…something required to pay existing bills, including wars,etc. they had already agreed to. So our debt ceiling debate was immediately yanked way over to the right because you…[Read more]

That’s what you do Tracie…..

Alan, it seems that actually the reverse if what you say is more in keeping with this conversation – Jason is laying claim to ‘the truth’ and to ‘facts.’ I  think that anyone who claims to know the truth is obviously following a religion and not reality.  The world is far too subtle to be only one way.
So, I’m rubber and you are glue..etc..
 
 

Jason, anything that does not align with the socialist, communist idealogy is considered radical to them and therefore is wrong…I thought you knew that you were not allowed to research and decide on your own and do your own thinking….there is no toleration for any other viewpoint!!!!!
Now, GET IN LINE BOY!!!  Stay on the plantation……

dear Mr. Garulay, the Laffer Curve that purports to show that income t hat is not taxed causes more economic activity, is just that – a joke..Recent history has proven that – govenment revenue produces 1.36$  of economic activity, compared to lowering taxes and giving money to the rich, which benefits society at a less that 1:1 ration. So you a…[Read more]

None of the above statements are true, Jason. Research and facts show the opposite..I don’t know where you get your certainty, combined with it’s complete incorectness.   The right, deregulation of markets, has caused the market crash of 2008.
 
What DO you read? Are you even aware of any controversy, anything objectionable to what you are pu…[Read more]

Just once in my lifetime I would like to see a strong and viable left.  Not pretend left, the real deal.

I think there is a pretty good chance that when the numbers are revised we’ll find that we did go back into recession already.
 
The “lower tax” issue may or may not be to protect rich people, but history shows that when they are lower the money moves more and the government collects more money in income taxes. Wealth is not taxed, income is.…[Read more]

What I was too vague iin saying is that if it is crap, you might as well paint it brown. …. there, that is less cryptic.

But you are following a party line with a particular way  of interpreting the past. Your claim to independence or ‘reality’ is specious.
But rightists often disregard the existence of a spectrum of interpretation, hence the crazies that are running us today..
there is a ‘right’ interpretation, there is a ‘left’ interpretation, to deny the…[Read more]

and p.s., there was  nothing ‘fine’ about the american economy prior to the 1929 crash. We had successive depressions,  horrible boom and bust cycles that caused lots of general suffering. Market regulations like Glass-steagall were designed, and succeeded in moderating the prior sufferings.
Jason, what does someone with such rightist views do wi…[Read more]

Jason, your views are extreme rightist, and I make that as a statement of fact,  not insult….Glass – Steagall was passed in 1933 and is the sort of gov. regulation that helped us stay out of crashes like 2008 for sixty years. The New Deal was bringing us out of depression, until a rightist coalition succeeded in causing it to be stymied, in 1…[Read more]

if you made them blue, planes would hit them. 

Depends on the duck..and the gender.
