1. Muncle - like your comments, nothing I did not know. However, I think if your only sources of information are the major networks and the news networks(including FOX btw), you are not getting half the picture. Now, if you throw in the BBC, and BBC world, you add a lot. If you add in a few Asian news channels, you might have more. If you throw in Autonews, the Wall street Journal, Platts, AMM, and the 10 or 12 other business news release services I get all the time, you start to get the real picture of what is going on in the economy. Ok, you can throw in the internet - but there is a lot of junk to sort through first.

2. I never said anything about pink haired old ladies. I have a good friend who owns a home down there, and I have been through, that is why I am on this board. I am planning on buying a place in TV - probably sooner than later. I am waiting for the market to bottom out. From everything I have read, my political views will fit in just fine down there.

3. Just for Hillary's daughter ;D and Redwitch info, where I live is a heck of a lot more liberal than Florida - I mean I come from the land of Russ Fiengold for heaven's sakes! And our taxes make you blush they are so high.... I can argue with liberals with the best of them - I am surrounded up here.

BTW - Chelsea - have you walked in on Daddy lately, or maybe you were evading sniper fire with your mom (I am just KIDDING here).

4. I never said Reagan walked on Water - I just think he was a great president because he stuck to his principles - he was not perfect by any means. There are 2 great failures he had in my opinion - first, he never stood up to congress on spending and made them cut things like he wanted to, he gave in a little too much there. Also, he handled Iran Contra badly - he should have told the Dems to Shove it and shut up.

5. Not only am I a Packer Fan - I noticed the Brewers took the series against the cubs to open the season - 2-1....... :#1:

6. Efrahin- I am not sure I get the point of the first half of your post, I think I am missing something- however, I agree when you on what I THINK you are trying to say, but mispelled-
"America will be taken down without SHOOTING a bullet". I believe you are saying we will self destruct. I don't disagree -

We are fat and whine how bad things are
We make excuses for everyone who commts a crime and wonder why society is out of control.
We give the Lazy people anything they want, and wonder why our kids don't want to work.
We don't want to go through the hard work of going to college, and then wonder why we can't get a job.

And it is always somebody else's fault........

We will pay for this, sooner than later. I just hope I am gone when it happens.
