And Rochester NY is usually about the same temperature AS Alaska, and I live on the shore of Lake Ontario, so I get BLASTED by Canadian wind.

...say, maybe I should look into wind power?


Probably not a bad idea - it would probably pay for itself quite quickly if you've got that kind of wind.

Maybe even give to the grid and get paid :p

Although this message comes on a relatively somber note,
I smiled when he said, "WE HAVE TO LEARN FROM HISTORY!"

Interesting. When was that video taken? He mentioned tax cuts expiring in 2002 in the future. Must've been right after the dot.com crash or so.

In my state of New York, the health care promises (made by the fmr. Gov. Pataki(R) administration), such as Child Health Plus and Family Health Plus, which seem to be a "prototype" for universal health care, have really put a serious strain on the State's ecomomy, even at the local town and village perspective. I am really concerned about this on a Federal level, if universal heath care becomes a reality, making promises we can't pay for.

governments can modify their obligations by changing laws.

...but at what pace? Walker talks about "time" really being the issue.

New Yorkers don't change laws quickly (...at least those who live upstate, like me, NYC may be different.)
