ParticipantCould someone explain to me how GM food could be bad for us? Are they breeding broccoli with cholesterol now? But seriously…I would rather have a GM plant with less pesticides than an unaltered plant doused in the stuff.
ParticipantAs I say that though, I wonder if more poor people have moved in too. Who knows…

ParticipantI think there a few things at work…I have no doubt that the white collar base in SD has increased in the last decade. Therefore the mix that the median income stat is based on has changed. The population as a whole has seen income growth (more high paying jobs), but individuals families have not (or not significant). As to the home prices raising so much in the last ten years, well I am just scratching my head…the best I can come up with always includes restrictive development boards and just a population of people with poor fiscal values. There are just way too many “fake it till you make it” people in southern California who live way to close to the edge.

1. Communist Manifesto (Marx)
2. The social contract (Rousseau)
3. Atlas Shrugged (yes, Ayn Rand makes the list)
and most importantly
4. How to win and argument (dave barry)If everyone read and comprehended what these men thought, the world would have functioning government, I am convinced of it…
But alas, this is to much too ask of the american public schools.
I mention Rand, because she provides a position which is completely unexpressed in modern society. She is generally wrong, just like Marx, but she expresses an extreme point of view that people need to consider, to sleep on, and wrestle with!
And I mention Barry, because I am so freaking sick of people mentioning hitler and making crap up…Although the drinking point I suppose has merit.
