<p>the biggest problem in current politics (aside from gun control - :) joke!) is the fact that neither side can believe that the other side's opinions actually have some validity - even when they are vastly different from their own. Only when we accept that another person has a reason for...

Am I reading these little charts right - did Los Angeles go down more during the late 90's than these other cities did? And Miami and Boston have actually seen larger increases than LA??

thanks bishie, now that you spell it out I actually heard something similar recently about 401k and it has been sort of brewing in my mind as to how much we should be contributing! now I have heard it twice - if I hear it again I suppose someone is trying to tell me something!

Bishie, or anyone - why would higher social security taxes for higher incomes mean that I should not contribute to my 401k over the match this year (2007). I do understand the max on soc. sec. tax just don't understand how that relates to my 401k??

I do agree that homeowners are adults - need to be responsible for thier actions - and I am against a bailout. However, I do believe there are many good, regular people out there that really did try to make responsible, smart decisions and are going to end up really hurt by this situation...

<p>irvinecommuter - aagh - you know how to shoot my arguments down using my own field (psychology and research) against me - I love this blog! </p> <p>Thanks Adam - have to think about that idea - interesting! Even if I don't agree with all his underlying beliefs I must say that Ron Paul...

<p>valid point jw - I know a kindergarten teacher who says that it can be hard for kids who have not watched any tv at all because they can't participate in some of the conversations and pretend play of the other kids. </p> <p>All those horrible things on tv and video games are real as...

<p>There is research showing that with the introduction of tv to a community there are increased agression levels - etc. Wish I had a link to point you to....</p> <p>Your point is well taken though - violence has existed forever and it is part of being human. However, doesn't that also prove...

<p>jwbrown77 </p> <p>a lot of it - yes. Our society has crossed a line - people are becoming desensitized to terrible things - the things that are done to other human beings on tv are horrific and they are not presented that way. I can't even allow my children to watch non-violent tv shows...

<p>hmmm - Adam - I do agree with you - logically it is best to pick the candidate that can set the wheels in motion to resolve the bulk of items one cares about. However, when I watched that video I really enjoyed it - liked what Ron Paul said - thought this made sense. And then the statement...

<p>Its not. </p>

<p>Safety and violence trump all for me. I wish that I could vote based on economic policy alone because that is my second biggest concern - but I can't. </p> <p><a...

<p>I agree with Nude's concern about putting the addict on a cold turkey treatment plan even if it kills him. However, I must say that despite being a life-long democrat I am a very attracted to his openness in this video about our country's support of the wealthy and betrayal of the poor and...

I know I saw this chart before when I read your analysis but thank you for posting it again here because it is finally hitting home. Even with exotic loans there still would be a limit to how high prices could go - and according to this graph we had started reaching that limit - no matter which...

<p>$25 donated today! Graphix and EvaL thanks for making my money count for more!</p> <p> </p>

<p>Found this site for anyone else who is just finding out about this - </p> <p><a href="http://www.irwd.com/WaterQuality/IDP/index.php">http://www.irwd.com/WaterQuality/IDP/index.php</a></p> <p>I am just astonished that there are buyers even considering paying 1 mill plus for a tract home...

<p>what the *$%! We were planning on buying in woodbridge if we ever got around to buying but after seeing this.... I am having trouble accessing any of the sites mentioned about this toxic plume - anybody have any current sites about it??? </p>

<p>I agree - we can't deny there has been growth and lots of it! But, did those people just up and leave their homes for the sunshine - in my experience most people believe that where they grew up is very special and a wonderful place to live and will not leave forever if they have an option...

<p>Nude - great info, thank you - I had never heard it before - guess it wasn't taught in fourth grade along with the missions! :)</p> <p>Caliguy - I find that most of the friends I grew up with here don't realize the benefits that can be found in other areas of the country. Not saying that I...

<p>Where does this idea come from that CA is sooooo desirable and people are actually picking up and moving here just to be here - I haven't met anyone like that. I grew up in So. Ca, my family is here - and of course I see its incredible beauty - but because of the cost of living we would...
