  JZS: re: “You’ve have benefited from the richest (that would not include me) for that length of time for everything your community provides and the federal government provides: the military, police, the fire department, upkeep of roads, your children’s education, libraries, the street in front of your house, the monuments and attractions in DC, protection of the foods you eat, the water you drink and the air you breath.”

  Of all the things you named here, the only things that are rightfully within the pervue of the Federal government are the military, the maintenance of the monuments in DC (which might actually be better maintained by philanthropists looking for a tax write-off), and SOME of the functions of the Dept of Agriculture (food and water). The rest that you named are– or SHOULD be– under local control, especially education. The Dept of Education has destroyed actual learning in the US.

  I could go on here, but I don’t have time.

• Banks Are Getting Good at Turning Away ‘Customers’ Who Try to Close Accounts While Protesting

  Herekitty,

  A few years ago I had some fire damage to my home, and received a check from my insurance company for $37,000 to cover the losses. I promptly put the money into my BoA account… and had absolutely NO problem with the BoA running a check on the money to make sure it was a legitimate check from my insurance company. Within two days, I had full access to the money. In the meantime, they gave me access to $500 of the money, and I was able to get started on the repairs.

  I don’t have a problem with it at all.

  A Doctor’s Labor… now is a very BAD time to buy gold. The price is over-inflated. It is in a price bubble every bit as fake as the housing bubble. When that bubble bursts, as it will when Soros starts selling off the ton or so of gold he has, the gold market is going to crash. The only people who will be safe in the gold market are those who bought in 10 or more years ago. For them, the gains they’ve shown in recent years are only on paper. After the crash, gold will drop back down to its previous price, probably somewhere around $500-$600/oz. People who buy in at over $1000/oz are going to be taken to the cleaners.

  The commercial says, “Gold is never worth nothing.” However, it HAS been worth $20/oz in the past. Think about that before buying at over $1000/oz.

• Lerner’s Plan in Action? 400 Protesters Converge on JP Morgan Shareholders Mtg

  SREGN, you are exactly right. The wrong people are wearing the Robin Hood hats. These people are showing off their ignorance of the fact that modern liberals are more like Feudal Lords than anything else. They obviously didn’t actually READ Ivanhoe.

• Sticky Situation (Part Two!): Wisc. Capitol Cleaning Crews Struggle to Remove Protest Banners, Stickers & Tape

  March 7, 2011 at 9:39pm

  The original basis for the $7.5 million cleanup cost was that marble is very porous, and it was thought that the marble facings on the wall might have to be resurfaced. The tape that was used was supposedly “safe for walls”, but that would be regular wallboard, which is NOT porous when protected by a coat or two of paint. The glue residue from the tape is a serious mess which has soaked into the pores of the marble.

  It may be that they found a way to remove the glue without sandblasting and repolishing the marble. I am hoping this is the case, otherwise it WILL be expensive to refinish the walls.
