we could privatize all schools, and the poor ones would close their doors. i can hear the libs screaming now....

Well, you asked so I didn't.

I have nothing against the government owning land. Out west they own an incredible amount of some states. But the idea proposed that the government should continue buying up more and more land I find every bit as alarming as steadily selling it all off. My guess is that no specific "selling trend" exists other than that while they are buying in some places, they are selling others.

Piggie why change the subject by bring up the UAE? It does seem incredibly naive to think that these land parcels are going to be turned into places like Muir.

lol..hey mcrib...sorry man, i posted that to the wrong thread....

i am AGAINST this sale as much as the next guy..just stimulating thought. we need more PUBLIC lands, not less. strip malls are the bane of our world. but i realize my hypocrisy as i fill up at teh Shell station.

Thank gawd. Have been having happy thoughts about this since this morning.

Of course, who will replace her worries me just as much.
