My Pick For Internet Comment Of The Day
It comes from the New York Times
Timothy Egan wrote a column today about how the town of Vallejo California has gone bankrupt.
He waxes eloquent about the ruination of America and he stuck a chord with readers.
One gets the feeling that something earth-shaking is happening, but no one is quite sure just what it will be like in that not-so-brave new world.
Comment of the day by Chris
suburbs of Washington; have you have hung around in Manhattan? I don’t believe
none of these arguments about we don’t have enough money to do such and such. We
just need to take it from the rich and spread it around a bit. We need to use
their money to build an economy whose goal is 1) taking care of the health and
housing of everyone 2) creating scientific progress, since that is the only
thing which ultimately makes a big difference in living standards. The idea of a
green revolution is great. I doubt Obama will go for that because, based upon
his leadership choices, he seems like a typical machine status quo politician. I
hope I am wrong.— chris
