You sound a little bitter that people are making nice places to live. Not everyone can, would or should live in long established cities. But don't forget that Seattle, St Louis, Denver... every city, were all in the middle of nowhere before they were built.kalm wrote:Contrived, stand alone downtown in the middle of nowhere.

Personally, I love the little "downtown" areas that have been created in the burbs. Sure beats the hell out of strip malls.

John, I think you're a case.JohnStOnge wrote:I don't think many liberals are going anywhere. But if it were to become evident that they were leaving in droves, before you got too excited, I think you should contemplate the fact that the overwhelming preponderance of the best and the brightest in the high tech world are liberals. Also recall that the overwhelming majority of the "cognitive elite" in this country voted Democrat this last time. More so than ever in the history of polling as far as I can tell.
If the liberals all leave a disproportionate proportion of the country's top brainpower leaves. It's something that has frustrated me for many years. But if you're objective about it you have to admit it's the case. For the most part the people behind the smart phones we use, the portable computers we use, the software that runs them, etc., were and are liberals. Most of our top scientists in other fields too. I'm not saying I understand why it's the case. But I think it's the case.
You of all people should know that what I posted is the truth. If you could snap your fingers this second and all of the people you and/or I might characterize as "liberals" would disappear from the United States, the United States would lose the majority of its people who are among its brightest.

It's limp-wristed "conservatives" like you that explain why the American right is endangered. You won't fight for your principles -- such as they are.
John, that's just plain disingenuous. You see people like Zuckerberg and Gates and that little crip Hawking, and you think that liberals dominate the intellectual sweepstakes. Holy Jesus, conservatives can't hope to compete. Throw in the towel.JohnStOnge wrote:You of all people should know that what I posted is the truth.

My guess is that if you're honest about it you'd say you think the same thing.
IF they're so fucking smart and enlightened, how come they display the complete inability to argue a point using logic? Instead they fall immediately to emotion and can't argue their way out of a wet paper bag.JohnStOnge wrote:I don't think many liberals are going anywhere.
