Maybe not a bad choice, they have hummingbirds there as well. <BR/>You see, the candidates speak about gas prices and such, and what they are going to do about the rising costs. <BR/>The funny thing is, it has absolutely nothing to do do with them. They can not dictate to those who got the free ride. The "free-market" economy after all is the ticket to democracy, or so I have been told.Zeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02046472160770720576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-78260758583586111952008-08-05T21:29:00.000-07:002008-08-05T21:29:00.000-07:00lindsay - People here do understand there are seri...lindsay - People here do understand there are serious economic problems but most have little comprehension of the underlying reasons.

Randal? Are we for that?<BR/><BR/>2. Automobiles to public transportation. How about adding bicycles and walking to the list. That might help with health care.<BR/><BR/>3. Suburban sprawl to compact communities and the reclamation of forest and agricultural land. <BR/><BR/>Population explosion, 101.<BR/><BR/>4. Advertising to education.<BR/><BR/>There are some people who say that advertising IS education. <BR/><BR/>5. Financial speculation to local entrepreneurship.<BR/><BR/>I'm all for that. Whatever. Is there chocolate cake involved?<BR/><BR/>Seriously, if we could make those five changes - feed universal health care and environmental recovery; decrease the number of fossil-fuel burning vehicles; small communities that work WITH the environment; REAL education rather than uber-testing; and encouraging local entrepeneurs - that would be something.DivaJoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02534571327558009753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-1538588515436690922008-08-05T05:54:00.000-07:002008-08-05T05:54:00.000-07:00Hi Susan A very entertaining column once again wit...Hi Susan <BR/>A very entertaining column once again with some excellent references. Too bad there isn’t the interest that would demand a debate about the internal economy and aspects that are now clearly unsustainable, such as over spending and excess financial organizational layers surplus to the provision of sensible credit services. Even so by necessity some rationalize will happen in the financial services and brokerage areas before too long.<BR/> If I can stay on the nature theme, a cat will avoid being scalded a second time by mistakenly cuddling up to a red hot stove top. Let us consider the overseas investors and sovereign risk overseas funds who have recently invested very large sums into many of the leading failed leading institutions. If they were to find subsequently their capital depleted a second time around there is no prizes for guessing what their reaction will be then? <BR/>I have also read some unbelievable comments elsewhere to the extent their authors seem to think it doesn’t matter how big the deficits is because the Government will simply borrow more or print more money. The end result of such a policy is clearly visible and evident in history in the economic collapse which would be accompanied by rampant inflation. <BR/>Best wisheslindsaylobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774918551798647046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-8974735435552959932008-08-04T18:54:00.000-07:002008-08-04T18:54:00.000-07:00okjimm - Holy crap!

I'm not sure people are ready for such a change.<BR/><BR/>The bus rates are going up here to $2.50 ONE way in the fall. That's $25 for a typical week. Sure, cheaper than parking for you car, but that's a piece of cash for someone who really can't afford it. We'll need to reach a terribly visible tipping point before we change the way we operate, I fear.<BR/><BR/>No more hedge funders, less advertising and overt consumerist culture. Sounds nice.
