Without them, no city, neighborhood, or town, however well designed, is likely to function.<br /><br /><br /><br />I suppose it would be unkind to point out that it's kind of hard to expect "middle-class values" to be upheld when there is no middle class.<br /><br /><br />If you're going to equate "middle-class values" with "our culture," then the question becomes not "who stole our culture?" but "who stole our middle class?"<br /><br /><br />Mr. Lind should note that while he points the finger at liberals, minorities, gays, women, etc.....3 fingers are pointing back at himself.JennOfArknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-73140229251829164022015-01-12T15:03:35.393-05:002015-01-12T15:03:35.393-05:00I have that poster on the wall of my bathroom.I have that poster on the wall of my bathroom.JennOfArknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-1227226054453327652015-01-12T15:02:28.532-05:002015-01-12T15:02:28.532-05:00The Far Side archetype, in other words.The Far Side archetype, in other words.JennOfArknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-66408375994973191622015-01-12T14:49:44.568-05:002015-01-12T14:49:44.568-05:00Well, and another OT: growing up as I did during ...Well, and another OT: growing up as I did during the Cold War, with its propagandizing of Soviet strength and intent, it wasn't until I was an adult that I understood the "evil" Soviet impulse that led to the subjugation of Eastern Europe as client states.<br /><br /><br />All I had to do was look at a map. The Russians lost <i>24 million</i> people in WWII, between military and civilian casualties. Here in the US, where home territory is protected from invasion by vast oceans on two sides, a friendly stable democracy on another, and a poor state with limited military capability on the last, we lost a total of about 420,000. It's easy to tut-tut the very natural Soviet desire for a buffer zone to protect themselves from ever facing such a dire threat again when a powerful hostile aggressor a few hundred miles away decides to roll in when there's virtually zero possibility of it happening here.JennOfArknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-86468358198993565022015-01-12T13:44:06.272-05:002015-01-12T13:44:06.272-05:00So "community" is very important to cons...So "community" is very important to conservatives?

Thus, Mozilla canning its CEO for doing homophobic things that damage the company's image and potentially depress profits makes the company an ultra-leftwing communist front. In the present example, when Raytheon builds a corporate campus composed entirely of glass cubes, it is at once the acme of capitalism and a stealth outrider of communism.Derelicthttp://wildernesscatherding.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-51696038617614362372015-01-12T08:24:53.125-05:002015-01-12T08:24:53.125-05:00Expert.
