    Bot Zapper

    Posted by admin on February 5th, 2010 and filed under smart growth movement | 17 Comments »

    It’s like this: George Soros is the only American to have his own foreign policy and Aryeh Neier (learn to spell this name) is his “secretary of state”. Soros has his own DOMESTIC policy too He intends to buy the White House.

    But is this guy SMART or is he just another run-of-the-mill billionair? In my sincere opinion, Soros is not that bright. Otherwise, he would not have allowed the super-intelligent NUT, Aryeh Neier to take over.

    Bottom line: Soros is a rich nut. Neier is an insane genius — who is bent on turning the U.S. into the U.S.S.R. (using rich people’s money)

    Part of Neier’s Master Plan involves an attack on the Fed. To that aim, Ron Paul and a (small) parade of zombies have been raised from the dead. Problem. How can ANYONE attack the Fed when employment is high and inflation is low? Simple. IGNORE reality and inject conspiracy. (That is also the proven method of the antiwar movement, environmental movement and the 911 Truth movement, if you haven’t noticed.)

    So, when confronted by an angry Ronbot who wants to do away with money, banks and the IRS, just tell him about the CPI (Consumer Price Index). The CPI is what REAL economists use to measure the growth in the money supply. And when a Ronbot talks about a “commodity-based medium of exchange” such as gold, just suggest coffee, aluminum, frozen orange juice or aircraft carriers. These are commodities too. Except, dollars fit a lot better in a bill fold.

    Here’s a scary thought: Can you imagine the weight of a woman’s PURSE if Ron Paul got his way? She would have to register it as a lethal weapon.

    Good Morning, Dundee Neighbors!

    Posted by admin on February 5th, 2010 and filed under smart growth neighborhood | No Comments »

    Wal-Mart didn’t bother to do any audibly tests of garbage compactors or idling trucks next to residential properties in West Dundee–their biggest fear was from refrigeration units on the other side of the building.

    But the truck turnaround and grocery delivery will directly abut a residential neighborhood–are they comfortable with constantly breaking Illinois’ noise statute?
