  1. gemini, it would suit me much better if instead of giving us a historically accurate summary of how we got where we are you could just call anyone to the right of you uncultured crackpots. Then I will have someone to yell at and call a dumbass, and that will give me something to distract myself with. Thank you.

  2. Went to look at 107 Gates yesterday, but the broker couldn’t get in. The exterior was really made ugly with “slum” brick over the entry door and under the stoop. I assume that could be fixed for a price.
    Might be issues with the yard, too.

    Oh hell, there you go being all reasonable and accurate and non-emotive again. What the hell am I going to do for fun today?

  4. Etson – We were talking about the God in America show on PBS last night and unless I misunderstood, the Evangelicals were instrumental in setting up the “NYC Public School System” and taught the children that to be good american citizens you had to beleive in a protestant God
