I was quoted from 2008, my transformation is now complete. I went with a macbook pro almost a year ago. about the time I switched to the iphone4, and I’m happy as a clam. My employer provides me with the latest blackberry and pc laptop, hate em both, especially the blackberry, what a worthless piece of crap.

It’s not about speed or power, it’s lifestyle. I jog every day and listen to music, but it’s my lunch hour at work so I need to have my phone. The iphone is on my arm and switches to voice without missing a step. I will not jog with two devices and the other phones suck as ipods. In my car it is my xm and I have a skydock, I can’t live without it. The macbook and the ipad are similar in their design and function. Just give up, they win, resistance is futile.

San Diego’s assemblyman in 1851 tried to accomplish this in California’s second year as a State. Funny how some things never change, a bad deal is a bad deal, in 1851 and today.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agoston_Haraszthy

I agree with Agoston, that guy was such a visionary, we need an Agoston, but if he couldn;t do it, I doubt it can be done.

Let’s see, Agoston accomplished
-San Diego’s first Sheriff and Marshall
-built the first jail
-subdivided and developed everything from old town to downtown (little Italy and mid town was once called haraszartyville)
-built the first hospital
-brought almost every variety of grape and founded the wine industry in California

-founded Buena Vista winery (still there, still good, the oldest existing winery)and founded the Napa and Sonoma wine region, not a bad idea in hindsight.

-It’s still being debated, but many believe he invented Zinfandel

So this is the kind of guy who did everything he wanted in many parts of his life and 160 years later, most of what he thought still rings true and survives and he wanted two states, I’m with him. Conversely, this was a guy who was able to do almost anything, and even he couldn’t make it so, so I doubt it will ever happen.

Before everyone gets their panties in a bunch, how much do you look at the fundamentals of world economies?

It may seem that we don’t make anything because of the lables you see on some products, but China has a lot more people than we do, in fact the 300 million or so residents we have isn’t anywhere near where we should be relative to our GDP.

Look at the chart, ignore the eurozone listing because they don’t give it a ranking because they break out the various countries as well.

We essentially make 3x what china does, not per person, but as a whole.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)

The United States is 1/4 of the world economy we have about 300 million people in a world of nearly 7 billion. Does that sound like last place to you? We are first by a mile, our per capita gdp is ahead of all the big countries

China and India combine for 37% of the world population and about 9% of the world economy. The US accounts for 25% of the world economy with about 4% of the population. We can argue gnp,gdp,exports,labor, blah blah blah. But it comes down to the fact that we are still way out in front and if you want to be honest with yourself, we have all that we need, even now, in our darkest days, we have too much food.

Here’s why history and anectdotes don’t matter. We work, hell we work too much. We have the longest workweeks, the shortest vacations, the longest working lives. Sure we end up with shorter lifespans, more heart attacks, high divorce and substance abuse rates. Those are the side effects of who we are, but ending up like Spain or some other former superpower, sorry, not going to happen. We will have bad years, we may lose some ground and some industries, but we keep coming up with new ones.

And I don’t care where my macbook was fabricated, the money for the most part, stays here. Oil, Schmoil, we will invent a new fuel source and then license it to other countries to make it and ship it back to us, thats what we do, we screw everybody else and reap the fruits of their labor, we aren’t getting rich on the backs of americans, we live well because of places like china and we dont take naps and enjoy life like europeans, that’s why we wont end up like them. Please, an American on welfare lives better than 95% of the planet. I’m all out of tears and I’m more worried about the NBA lockout than I am about us losing our place in the world economy.

Calm down, it’s going to be just fine.

I can settle tnis argument right now.

Allan-he gave the green light to seal team 6, the job and the truth weren’t lost on him, we can all sleep well.

Brian-actually i don’t know what to say, because I can’t give you wisdom at your age, you gotta trust me, it’s not what it seems. When you break 40, you’ll understand the folly of youth.
