Thank you, Debbie from Texas lol!

I'm sorry. I wasn't gonna post anything else on here until I saw Eddie's post:

J Scott I didn't get the impression you were communist but you do come off as liberal especially to someone such as myself. But I didn't get that impression from Tim's posts but merely from yours. Now I have not read all of your posts on here. As I said, I have only been reading parts. I think its an admirable trait to be able able to find common ground with both schools of thought. From your description of yourself, I would call you moderate. But who the hell cares what anybody else thinks. You're an individual. And you are what you are no matter what someone else calls you. Grandma use to say, "No matter what you do, not everybody's gonna like you."

I don't attack BO for any reasons other than his policies suck and he's a liar. Plain and simple. He's a politician. Of course he's a liar and any of you that voted for him and expected him to hold up all those campaign promises are very naive. I am by no means singling him out. I was anti-Federal government and wanted to see the Fed gotten rid of long before it became popular to bash Bush or BO. Our government is corrupt. I'd love to see the people of this country get up enough testicles to go in and throw the entire lot of them out. From rumblings I hear on the outskirts of Atlanta, Texas, Missouri and parts of California, that day may come sooner than any of us think. There are a lot of very unhappy people in this country right now. BO won the election, sure but the figures I got was that 7 out of 10 people of voting age didn't vote this last election. Wonder what they're thinking? Maybe the same thing I am. Socialist McCain or Socialist BO. We're already down to a one party system. What difference does it make who you vote for?

I have a lot of friends and associates and though most areas are a mix, that area is highly concentrated that with conservatives and "rednecks". I was only stating that your views on here might be considered a type of "heresy" to some individuals of that mindset. It was merely a comparison of the ideaologies you state on this forum in relation to those of majority of your surroundings. I think I'll go watch Romper Room now. There are fewer children there.

I've always been scary. You're just getting to know me is all ;)
That book isn't written by a politician but by professor who spent his entire life, researching and teaching others about what this country was founded on, what it means and how important it is.

I went to the local REI meetings for nearly a year before I did my first deal. Like Ro, said above, for me, it was fear. It was new and I was unsure. It took time for me to become familiar with not only the methods but the idea of risk. MikeOH, we were just in a similar discussion under another topic about my wanting to move into doing multifamily properties. I think its purely ambivalence to something new.

And while I'm teaching, I'd like to recommend a book that I feel every US citizen, especially today, should read. Its called "A Miracle that Changed the World, The 5000 Year Leap" aka "Principles of Freedom 101" by W. Cleon Skousen.
