oh goody another Malthusian, sadly they never help the cause by offing themselves, shows a lack of moral conviction IMO.

I think we will see more aquaponics , more vertical farming, more entomophagy, more low energy graphene based water desalination and more phytoremediation- there is no question the technology to feed a growing population is here the question is do we have the will.

3rdrate doesn't hate me he's infatuated with me, I'm sure if I looked at his post I'd see the frustration of unrequited love

You gentlemen are all right on Kelo v. New London and I am spectacularly wrong, I deserve that for relying on memory, writing before coffee, left bias in reading material and forgetting the far left and Libertarian right touch on some issues.

I'll reserve judgement but this has the look of a James O'Keefe style stunt to me.

Jeb Bush is in the sweet spot - conservative and southern enough to squeak by the Tea party not so right-wing as to come off as bat **** crazy to the rest of the country.

nothing new http://www.huffingtonpost.com/christina-walsh/nj-town-revives-eminent-d_b_802804.html http://reason.com/blog/2013/03/31/alabama-brings-back-eminent-domain-for-p http://www.csmonitor.com/2003/0509/p01s03-ussc.html and remember when all the conservatives railed against the Supreme Court's 2005 Kelo v. New London decision- yeah neither do I and of course you are against the use of Eminent Domain when it comes to the Keystone XL pipeline, right? I mean otherwise you'd be a big fat hypocrite and you're not one of those are you?

Jeb Bush - read it now quote me later

It always strike me that some people long for a past that never existed, what King described is nothing new - assimilation usually is a slow process that usually takes a couple generations, it was common that adult immigrants never became fluent English speakers , Children who come over and the children of Immigrants became fluent in both languages, the next generation are fluent in English and less fluent in the old world language, the following generations are pretty much fully assimilated speak English only. Buffalo had German Polish and Italian language newspapers (and probably others) There was a Buffalo Polish language newspaper around in the 1950s- The battle over language and assimilation is nothing new. http://www.buffaloah.com/h/ger/illus/ Generally opposition to immigration revolves about distribution of resources (jobs, land, governmental largess, etc etc) and quality of life issues - from the OP's article but this is nothing new, my dad had access to old Buffalo police logs and there were all kind of complaints about people raising live stock in their back yards (city folk apparently don't want to be woken up at dawn by the soothing crow of a rooster) people running enterprises out of their house or just too many people living in one house.

Come on 3rdrate cut Birdog a break he probably got his information from a conservative like Herman Cain and you know how those conservatives are- a bunch of pathological liars .

I'd hate the Bills throwing the season for a player unless there was an awesome catch phrase for it like "suck for luck", so lets see "going down for the clown" kinda strained how about "playing fair and not tanking for Seferian-Jenkins"

I'm not implying we should be all right with Obama leaving his troops to die putting a hit out for Stevens- what I'm implying is you and your ilk have no clue as why you should hate Obama, you hate an imaginary Obama you made up in your head you should hate the real Obama instead. The quote is just to say this stuff has been out for a long time.

I guess we will see as the 2014 elections get closer - just about every weak Republican will be facing a primary challenger, establishment Republicans will face Tea partiers and Vice-versa, it will be interesting.

The speculation I've heard for a long time is that Stevens was working for Stevens or at best for elements in the CIA but he wasn't doing what Obama wanted which is how he ended up less than living.

Well I would think poll numbers like this ]http://www.ibtimes.com/congress-approval-rating-all-time-low-obamas-lowest-2011-1360879 could be an incentive for some but it hasn't motivated them so far.

I think physically Rogers reminds me a little bit of Dez Bryant and I like Rogers toughness (in the college video I've seen he took some pretty good hits but the ball never looked jarred) but he has to improve his route running Are the Bills going to be in 3 WRs a lot? that's the impression I get but don't know, Stevie and then two out of Graham, Woods and Rodgers, -Goodwin is a given and probably will be featured as a returner, then maybe Hogan and Smith I think they are both pretty good on ST

we are talking about damage to the economy, right- without the CDS AIG would have taken loses from it's mortgage-backed securities but not collapsed and need a 150 billion dollar bailout.

LIBOR ICAP FOREX energy markets copper wheat aluminum all of them manipulated and these !@#$s won't say a thing about it because who cares about trillions when someone somewhere is getting an extra $47.52 a month they don't deserve HSBC money laundering for drug cartels, rouge states and terrorists = who cares M.F global dipping into segregated accounts = whoopie-do co-mingling funds and dumping losing bets into pension funds = saps should know better more fraud for profit than fraud for homes= the poor loan officers were being pressured black listing honest home appraisers = you got to go along to get along I'd say there is about two major financial scandals a week but forget that and forget all the little stuff like churning old widows accounts and little pump and dump schemes Just remember that Index funds beat about 99% of fund managers over any ten year period- these guys are parasites- or as Charles Hugh Smith says "The entire financial management industry is a rentier arrangement: they skim immense profits and return no productive yield at all. " let the outrage begin

It really doesn't matter who the contracts were with, what matters is the contracts had collateralization requirements triggered by by a rating drop to a single A rating it was unacceptable risk and it bit them in the ass.

can you say credit default swap- I knew you could

oh I'd like to play- how about AIG's financial products unit, Beazer Homes, Lehman, and the big three ratings agencies .

yep sometimes things are poorly designed including social programs.
