There's the problem. You live here. Be part of the solution.

And what is the solution?

And what is the solution?

Extinction of the human race.

Next census is 2020 I believe. Don't the governors of the states few up the district maps? Right now 35 of the governors are republicans. Not great for the democrats hopes for better district maps.

I think in most states the legislature controls the redistricting process subject, I suppose, to veto by the governor. Maybe a handful use an independently appointed group.

I just didn't know what geezer's point was about Bush, the census, and his "honesty" or dishonesty regarding it.

Like with any protest (labor strikes, etc.) they tend to get co opted by people with agendas.

I'm sure that was part of it.

Unless it was co-opted by the very people who organized it that doesnt hold water sorry. The event became the "Unite The Right" rally because the guy who organized it made it so.

The beauty taken from our cities can never be replaced. If only we hadn't lost the ability to make other statues to put in their place!

I was in no way defending it.

The strange thing is, if the guy had stated in his permit application that he wanted to march through the park wearing Nazi uniforms, carrying Nazi and Confederate flags, and singing Dixie, I'm not sure the City could have denied him. I'm sure they would have tried, but I think there are famous cases out there on that issue, lampooned in the Blues Brothers, that would protect that right. But I'm sure most of these guys are too stupid to know that and figure that if they disclose it's a nazi march the city will have a right to turn them down.

Well I'm so glad that Trump "waited for all the facts to come in."

Yeah, Trumpy really cares about preserving art.

http://www.motherjones.com/politics/...d-trump-tower/

he construction of Trump Tower may have been Donald Trump’s greatest achievement, but it was a disaster for the city’s artistic legacy.

To build his skyscraper, Trump first had to knock down the Bonwit Teller building, a luxurious limestone building erected in 1929. The face of the building featured two huge Art Deco friezes that the Metropolitan Museum of Art wanted to preserve. The museum asked Trump to save the sculptures and donate them, and the mogul agreed—as long as the cost of doing so wasn’t too high.

But then, according to journalist Harry Hurt III in his book Lost Tycoon, Trump discovered that taking out the sculptures would delay demolition by two weeks. He wasn’t willing to wait. “On his orders, the demolition workers cut up the grillwork with acetylene torches,” Hurt wrote. “Then they jackhammered the friezes, dislodged them with crowbars, and pushed the remains inside the building, where they fell to the floor and shattered in a million pieces.”

I thought you were all for taking guns away from the mentally ill?

Or have you forgotten what you wrote last week?

If a doctor decides someone is a threat to themselves or others absolutely. That wasn't the case with what Obama did.

So someone who is too mentally unstable to manage their own affairs is nevertheless sound enough to own a gun?

Please tell me you aren't saying that.

No, he's saying that. I can't tell a $5 from a $1 in my wallet, but I can differentiate between someone breaking into my house, and the Meals on Wheels person dropping off my lunch.

Have you ever seen any statistics on personal finance? There are a lot of people who make six figures who live paycheck to paycheck and don't pay their bills on time. Beyond that, it's easier for a lot of families to let someone else handle it. Not all situations are the same.
