America used to stand for quiet, proud, hardworking strong but fair now ????????

I love my country but we're all buying into the corporation propaganda. It's alright to be rich and have the nice car and house but materialism becomes our God. "Must get latest....or newest....why conserve I won't be here when the end comes..."

Live smaller, nicer and control your life. I'm trying as fast as I can and I reccommend it, I hope to go from a large home to an older smaller one with less needs and more detail. Give away the unneeded things, help others AND VOTE con or lib but don't let others control your life and complain.; April 24, 2006 1:41 AM

What a stupid bitch. I cannot believe the crass of some people.

I dislike suburbia and everything it stands for but I'm not for taking away choices if people want to drive Suburbans. They should do what makes sense for their situation though; if you only need the capacity once or twice a year rent a damn truck. I seriously dislike sheeple who buy a monster SUV because they think it's cool and are trying to impress their neigbors.; April 24, 2006 2:13 AM

I just read that WSJ article. That lady actually choked up when she talked about her vehicle, HA HA! Not only is she a stupid bitch, but she's mentally deranged too. And that other lady who talks about how scrunched up she is on the train due to the construction on the Dan Ryan expressway...well, judging by her picture, I can see why she feels so scrunched.

I don't own a SUV and would never buy the cheap waste-of-money crap sold at
WalMart. Also I have lots of savings and I'm just waiting for home prices to regress to their 10 year linear regressed value. No hypocrits here. Sorry. Sounds like the rant of someone that bought the Bush "ownership society" bill-o-goods. Happy foreclosure to you.; April 24, 2006 7:40 AM

Seriously, what is that you want people to do that isn't going to be wasteful and sprawling and what does it do for society and your perception of a better future?

1) Sold the small SUV in 2000 (which I owned before they were cool) because I realized it was a waste

2) Have plenty of savings and could live off it a couple years

3) Grew up on a farm and have a small urban garden

4) Yes I do shop at WalMart sometimes....could live without them though; April 24, 2006 1:15 PM

And this has to do with oil how? Are the cenurbs some magical place where the buses run on fairy farts and food is delivered by flying carpet after only being grown in sustainable ways and the only fertilizer is unicorn poop?

It seems to be a matter of faith that the suburbs are wasteful. Upon which facts not assertions are these assertions based?; April 24, 2006 1:46 PM

I'm just pointing out that the american people are suckers. They elected two oilmen to the white house, with deep, deep ties to the saudis. Then they went out and bought Hummers and homes 50 miles away from their office.

Then they complain about $3 a gallon gas, and oil company profits.; April 24, 2006 1:52 PM

Anonymous said...: By and by, heartburn for the bankers

It is indeed the financial institutions that are most at risk in the real-estate market (which is not to say that consumers and speculators won't get hurt). The lenders will bear the brunt of the pain, because in many cases, they loaned the entire purchase prices of many homes. As I have said often, the housing bubble has been more a lending bubble. It will be the impairment of the financial institutions that will stop the flow of credit to the real-estate market. In turn, that will accelerate the collapse in house prices somewhere along the way.

The story closed with a description of how slow the market has recently become in Florida -- via the following comments in an e-mail by real-estate broker Mike Morgan: "We went three days this week with not a single showing. That's incredible. I have 35 listings. We usually get 2-6 showings a day. ... I received more desperate calls from sellers than ever. One lady broke down into tears. Her husband bought two investment properties, and they are now going to lose their 'life savings' if they sell the homes in today's market."

Ladies and gentlemen, unfortunately, a lot of people around the country are going to be badly hurt as this bubble unwinds. And, after they have taken their losses, the financial institutions that were the engine behind this folly will take their own hits. 'Easy Al' Greenspan at the Fed tried to bail out one bubble with another bubble. While it bought some time, it will end in far-worse pain.

Anonymous said...: keith,

you keep complaining that bush and cheney are friends with the saudis. do you think oil prices would be higher or lower if the saudis were our enemies like iran and venezuela?

if somebody has something that is very important to me, i would rather that they were my friend. now if you have any evidence that it is the friendship that is driving up oil prices and not speculators and politics, then go ahead and show us.

i'm no fan of bush, but i'm also not some raving left-wing lunatic that blames all of the world's problems on him either as if it was paradise lost.; April 24, 2006 3:42 PM

You are right about the oil price. It is just galling that W is going around the ME belly-aching and spending US tax dollars to support democracy.

In the meanwhile, we are giving military guarantees to medieval monarchs who control their people with secret police organizations and public beheadings...exactly the kind of folks who Thomas Jefferson and George Washington detested to the bottom of their soul.; April 24, 2006 6:14 PM

gas is at record prices in all countries, including china and india. it's a big world-wide problems. there is a shortage of refineries and wells.

it's funny how the people who complain the loudest are also against drilling for more oil and building more refineries. nobody wants the refineries or oil rigs in their state or along their coastline.

ted kennedy and john kerry are opposed to wind turbines along the massachussetts coastline.

because we can't get any strong or honest leadership to solve this issue, we will just have to live with it.; April 25, 2006 1:13 AM

Anonymous said...: Yeah there's no shortage of refineries. Rush Limbaugh is the reason gas prices are $7/gal in France. Nevermind that no new refineries have been built in the United States the past 20 years even though the population has increased by 70 million people. Nevermind that over two dozen refineries have been shut down since the 1990's. Nevermind that the refineries are switching from MBTE to ethanol additives. All of that doesn't matter. Rush Limbaugh is behind this whole evil plot to raise gas prices all around the world. I'm going to escape to Mars on my solar-powered bicycle soon; April 25, 2006 3:54 PM
