Affordable housing! What in hell is that supposed to mean. it mans whatever the hell the use wants it to mean,.
If you are trying to get a grant, everything is affordable
If you are a non-profit, everythink is affordable.
Affordable means that about 1/2 of the people who earn a medium income, can afford to own and purchase a home.
Everyone below that is out of luck.
Why can so few people afford to buy a house? Could it possible by that they spend too much of their income on entertainment purposes.
Cigarettes used to be 10cents a pack or 2/5 fifths of a minimum wage per houre.. Now, cigatettes are $6,00 a pack og 90% of a minimum waged.
Movies used to be 5,10 25 cents for general admission, where you get two features, a comedy and a candy bar,
Now it is up around $5-10 to go to a movie.
then you have to have a cell phone, TV set, radios, Ipads, and computers, all costing money to entertain your self, or your child.
And we have to pay more taxes in the form of sales tax, don't we. 7-9% where is used to be 3cents.
And are craving for homes goes for bigger and better, with more goodies in the house, after they are all included in the sale price which goes ever higher.
All aided and abetted by the public agencys who that think that higher prices bring in more taxes,
How about just building a 850 square foot concrete slab, I bathrom, 2 bedroom, with no extras in the house to allow those will to buy such a thing and get a chance to live a normal life.
I am afraid Gluttoney has ruined our society.

And you think the all religions are equal and everyone is created equal.
the time has coming tor the Human Race to rethink what has been imposed upon us for some reasoan.
It is very simple to think that everyone is created equal, and that everyone should be created equally. and that all religions should and could get along, if everyone would just relax and little bit, and let the world adjut to the new reality.
But, there is no equality in creation, there is no perfect religion, that if you treat eveyone equally, you will get stomped upon.
Democracy is based upon intelligent people , joining together and agreeing to live by a set of laws that are just applied to all,
With the rise of civilization that worked! Until the intelligence of the country was lowered by mis-education, lies, religions, and the desire for power for some.
As to Isis, it is simple, just tell the Muslim Religion to control their believers or we will control their religion by one means or another.
It was common in the olden days to blame the Jewish religion, but the Jewish religion was never a threat to Christianity,
It may be in fact that Christianity is to blame for the conditions in the world
If you think you can live under Muslim rule, you can , but you may hate it worse than you hate the world today.
More inthe future.

Why blaming the police is wrong!
We have all seen it, the police do something and the people rise in horror that the police didn't use non-lethal force instead of shooting the person.
Sounds so logical, doesn't it, Why not do something non-lethal to prevent serious harm to people.
Ok here is the problem in a nut shell.
You are being threatened by someone with a knife or a gun and it seems like a real problem for you. And then your saviour comes in the form and uniform of a policeman!
Words are exchanged between the parties involved and the policeman can not seem to get the situation under controt.
Now the question I will ask you. Should the policeman shoot the man threatening you before, or after, the man shoots you?
Oh, I think I know your answer, but is the situation different if the policeman is the one being threatened?
Now it gets a little more difficult. A riot is going on and the mob is throwing Molotov cocktails, should the police shoot the thrower before the Molotov cocktail its you or your children?
Now it gets to the point of interest. At what point do you think the police should protect you from harm, but not protect himself from the danger?

The Beauty of Green Economics in Sonoma County, California
You have heard or read it all, about how this is the way to go to save the world, haven't you.
After all , it doesn't cost much and will make much better, won't it?
So , here are some facts from the Sonoma County Water Agency!
"While the total cost of all three systems is $15.5M, these projects took advantage of $4.49 M in PG&E rebates. Utilizing a total of 11,272 solar panels, the Agency is able to save an estimated $2.3M off its operational costs over the life of the systems. These three photovoltaic systems are part of the Carbon Free Water by 2015 Program which aims to reduce the Agency’s carbon emissions by 2015."
OK it cost $15.5 million minuse $4.49million in PG&E rebates. leaving it costing about $11 million dollars. Right?
And it will save us "save an estimated $2.3M off its operational costs over the life of the systems."
So, does it look like we spent $11million dollars to save $2.3million dollars!
Only a civil servant could think this was a good deal!
Breaking it down:
"This system meets all of the energy needs of the administration building during peak production hours. Though the total cost of the system was $3.53M, the Agency was able to take advantage of $1.64M in PG&E rebates. The Agency’s estimated energy savings is $640k through the 25 year lifespan of the system."
Now we spent 1.9 million to save $640thousand.
"Though the total cost of the system was $4.39M, the Agency was able to take advantage of $1.75M in PG&E rebates. The Agency’s estimated energy savings is $583k through the 25 year lifespan of the system."
Now we spent $2.7 million to save $583 thousand!
"Though the total cost of the system was $7.59M, the Agency was able to take advantage of $2.78M in PG&E rebates. The Agency’s estimated energy savings is $1.1M through the 25 year lifespan of the system."
$4/8 million to save $1.1 million.
But interestingly enough, there is no estimate of the cost of maintenance of these systems or the cost or replacement of damaged or stolen panels, is there?

Yeah not doubt about it, Solar panels are the way to go, aren't they?

Medical marijuana, how strange
Here in good old California they have medical marijuana so that if you have an ache, pain, angst, bad feeling, need, you can get the docs to give you a prescription of medical marijuana!
then you can go down to the outlet and buy the weed as you need it!
Now that is really funny, as there is no FDA approval for the drug prescription, it is grown in fields, harvested , dried, packaged, sold , and you have absolutely no idea of its actual sanitary condition.
Now that is okay for marijuana, but God help you if you want to buy a manufactured drug from Canada for a serious condition, that my friends, is against the law, because the FDA can not control the production of the drugs.
And is there any sense at all in this situation?

Occupy whatever!
Do these people really think that a mass of the people can do a darn thing as a mass of the people other than moan and groan about conditions in their lives.
If they want to do anything they have to organize and developer leaders then follow the leaders, Ah, but the trouble with that is the followers have never been able to control their leaders , have they?
The leaders take control, organize the system, take their prominent positions in the system, and then start to loot the system to enhance the power of the leading class.
And then one leader leads the leaders and controls the who governmental system and the political system , and the financial systems, and the followers pay their tribute to the leader and adore their leader, who freed them from the nasty capitalists and provided them with jobs in the coal mines of Germany, Italy, or Russia!
And they think that this is FREEDOM, as the leader will provide for the masses and control the rich and take all of the wealth from the rich, that are not part of the system, take from the middle class, and give it to their supports.
Hey, you don't believe this, look at what will happen and remember I told you so.

harrassment, what is the world coming to.
Sexual harassment! Is there a Man in the USA, the World, who has not sexually harrassed a female! Hell, in San Francisco you could get harrassed by a man if you were a man, by a woman if you were a woman, and that was considered normal there, but probably not in the real world
I suspect it part of the unwritten laws of society today to demasculize the male, masculize the female, join them all together in one gender , and solve the world population problems.
Why are they attacking Herman Cain for doing what men are supposed to do, and then ignoring Obama for doing what men are not supposed to be doing?
I guess there is something in the water, or the booze, or the politics of the USA that is confusing.
If you have never harrassed a female, and you are a male, please explain why you have failed the duty of men!
LOL
