It figures that all you got in the way of response was yet another attack by the PC police and the tax and spend freaks. Sign of the times as my father used to say. -ng- Amen on minimum wage vs. lying CPI. My own work with my CPPI (basically a corrected CPI) shows that minimum wage should be well over $20/hr to match minimum wage in 1973, yet another unintended consequence of both parties implicit approval of politically based "massaged" stats. Same thing with the 1%ers (aka greed and power freaks) on both sides on real estate and rent. At least I hammered the Krugman worshippers a few months ago on his promotion of a housing bubble and his and their responsibility in creating so many that lost their houses in the crash. The "best" thing about what's ahead in psycho debt-ville and the social & cultural messes is that the PC and tax & spend freaks is that their bogus and false ideology will blow up in their faces and they'll be exxxposed as the massive fools and Pollyanna's that they are. It'll never happen due to so much entitlement and political "think", accepted lies and PR BS, but a simple read of history like what's in Gibbon's "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" could wake up quite a few of the idiot intelligentsia who <heart> their future fantasy path. Note that there are a very few factual issues with Gibbon for which I expect some foaming at the mouth by the reverent politically poisoned factions, but his overall treatment and conclusions remain fair and correct. The "great experiment" of the Founding Fathers sure appears to be closely following the path of Greece, Rome, etc. but on "internet time" and with a lot more "religions" like AGW and government entitlements under the guise of compassion. And for some giggles to help counterbalance Gibbon, "The Decline and Fall of Practically Everybody" by Will Cuppy should help lighten the load for those who may be interested. And to answer your first question, there may be better forums but I haven't looked yet... and may not. It's getting way too stupid and a time sink for me in my retirement. I think that this forum will die a natural death as more and more of the great posters (regardless of whether I agree with them or not) desert it, and it becomes another hide-bound haven only for single political issue ideologically bound promoters of the "very best people and policies" who ignore or lie about so many inconvenient facts, as well as the actual historical record. Time wounds all heals... /sarc
