@Mitchell HareCan't speak to how things are done in your area, but I know of an individual who has done work on a home that is in the historic district out here and he said that all plans and designs had to be approved by the historical registry/society.

I prefer hard working individuals that actually contribute to society.

My rentals can have any window, any door, any siding I choose...no historical society involved.

Until they find a way to legislate away the ability to take advantage of others, society will continue to have problems like this.

On top of which many people were financing those houses with 10% + loans.r2d2 sounds a lot like he's had a bad experience in the stock market.BTW, over the long haul, the wealthiest members of any society are the OWNERS OF BUSINESSES.

@Ray Lai Sent you a request, and idk im gonna have to do a lot of searching, ive got pretty high moral standards haha, so Its hard in a society that has become so fervently lacking in morals, to find company's that are honest and true to work for.  

Are we all so brainwashed that in this litigious society, we need to get all sorts of insurance, just for piece of mind? 

It seems that society as a whole judges us based upon "where you went to school" quite often.

It doesn't have to be such a static large benefit to society and everyone else kind of why.  

It also mentions service to society for spiritual renewal.
