^ i think another thing that is getting better (which dropped MISERABLY with the white flight) is our urban spaces. They've seemed to get a grip on themselves for the first time since the 50s.

Please...it's foolish to compare anything that could happen in the U.S. with the oppression and violence that has occurred in communist dictatorships. Those are (and were) long standing established nations that were forcibly and violently folded into a communist state, and the people greatly suffered for it. There is nothing even remotely close to those situations that has ever happened in the U.S.
ever happened?
except you know.. maybe slavery or the Japanese concentration camps? or what happened to native americans?... hmmm

Failure to manage the credit crisis...the credit crisis isn't even old enough to have been "managed", unless we go back to the Bush administration - when something REALLY could have been done to manage it before it became a crisis.

Which actually started under Clinton, with the assistance of Sens. Dodd & Frank (D)...who sit on the finance committee!!
Barry signed a huge spending bill today, chock full of earmarks that he pledged he'd do away with. Instead of veto'ing it, he signed it...behind closed doors! Now THAT'S a failure!
