Might be time to read Brave New World again

ha ha, very funny motherf.....actually the funny thing is that this already exists to some extent. With computer storage and bandwidth ever cheapening, access to this type of data has become cheap as well. And it seems to be used in factoring future profitability. For example, credit card companies can already raise your interest level to the max if you miss a payment on a completely different card, but it's reported to the credit burueas. Not saying that all do, but that they can, and apparently some do.

Look at San Diego go! In a decade or so they might overtake Manhattan. But seriously folks, what in the wide world of sports is going on here. Manhattan, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, and a few other metros have the jobs, but this article points out that these are combined income households, middle management careers, and....no kids. Some people might be happy with that, and I'm not interested in a making a value judgement here, but rather have this feeling that most people don't want that type of life. What changed over the preceeding 40 years that to live comfortably both people must work?

time for a move? the american dream CAN be realized, just not where there are many people around. but that's okay since the AD doesn't realize involve people, especially now that we have the internet. i mean, we can just forget about our friends and submerge ourselves in the world of virtual friendship, fmaily, and maybe a flash of a white picket fence.

P.S. Time to learn the Target="blank" command.
