[quote=Nor-LA-SD-guy]Just think if we no longer had to import Oil we would probably run a trade surplus.

Worth doing IMO.[/quote]

If we stopped importing Oil, we could probably
double the standard of living in this country.

There was a reason Bush and Cheney fought
the Energy policies of the left.

The poorer people are the more conservative they
are.

[quote=Ren][quote=patb]i think buyers agents are there to work on your emotions.

Sure if you don’t know a neighborhood they help but
if you do know it, the buyers agent only gets paid if you buy so they seek to work your emotions[/quote]

I don’t think that’s true. Houses aren’t like used cars – people can’t be talked into buying a house they don’t want. Any reasonably intelligent person can see manipulation a mile away. The buyer’s agent is there to let them into houses, do the paperwork for offers, and give advice when asked. .[/quote]

Um Let’s see how many errors I can find here

1) Houses aren’t like used cars. Yeah, My 12 year old Camry is paid for. If i had a mortgage,
I’d still be paying.

1b) Houses are sold based upon payment. Very few
people figure out $/SF, Estimated depreciation, Maintenance budget, Hell most people don’t know
what PITI means.

1c) Houses are sold emotionally. How many people
look at the “Curb Appeal”, me I want an ugly duck.
I’ll fix it up. My house in Oklahoma was Fugly
when we bought it, 5 years later, it was gorgeous.

2) People can’t be talked into buying a house
they don’t want? Woah, dude, there are a
million salespeople who’se livelihood is
based upon your denial.

3) Any reasonably intelligent person can see
manipulation? Wow. You realize people voted
for George Bush. The average person is an idiot.
50% of all Americans are below average.

Hey

I concur, while Wall Street and the Libertarians
were pouring trillions into CDS and RMBS and
Derivatives, the indians and Chinese have been
sharpening knives to control key resources and lock in interesting patents.

There is a reason Toyota is 5 years ahead of GM on Hybrids, and Greentech?

The AM Radio crowd are actually selling ideas like Green Tech won’t work because they really really
can’t handle the idea they’ve just been wrong for 28 years.

Seriously, I spoke with a guy who has PhD in Engineering, who claimed you can’t generate enough
power with PV to power a house. When i presented him numbers he wouldn’t agree.

my take was the Biggest lie in the 90’s Internet
bubble was that Older people couldn’t possibly
understand the Internet.

I was an old Internet engineer from the 80’s
and was on the Working groups for 5 years.

I called BullS%^T in 98, and I’m Calling BS on
Web 2.0

I like the tools, but, unless they generate money,
what’s the point?
