The bail out companies should have been left to the normal route of failed companies. Keeping bad companies alive with tax dollars only benefits the failed companies. I own Saturn's. I tried to buy American and help GM turn itself around. My cars resale value More]]> http://www.timogilvieblog.com/some-thoughts-on-gm-plans-pontiac-fire-sale/feed/ 0 http://www.timogilvieblog.com/criticism-on-richard-ravitch-washington-and-the-fiscal-crisis-of-the-states/ http://www.timogilvieblog.com/criticism-on-richard-ravitch-washington-and-the-fiscal-crisis-of-the-states/#comments Wed, 22 Feb 2012 22:05:24 +0000 admin http://www.timogilvieblog.com/criticism-on-richard-ravitch-washington-and-the-fiscal-crisis-of-the-states/ Perhaps it is not unreasonable for Mr. Ravitch to hope such, given the present government in Washington. But it is a hope that only extends and compounds the unreasonable relationship compatibility between the State and Federal fiscs. It should not be unreasonable for us, the public, to hope that our State officials will instead More]]> http://www.timogilvieblog.com/criticism-on-richard-ravitch-washington-and-the-fiscal-crisis-of-the-states/feed/ 0 http://www.timogilvieblog.com/thoughts-on-mcgurn-religion-and-the-cult-of-tolerance/ http://www.timogilvieblog.com/thoughts-on-mcgurn-religion-and-the-cult-of-tolerance/#comments Wed, 22 Feb 2012 22:00:46 +0000 admin http://www.timogilvieblog.com/thoughts-on-mcgurn-religion-and-the-cult-of-tolerance/ I would certainly agree that courts and legislators that approve gay marriage are on very shaky ground disallowing polygamy. But my understanding is that Mr. Jeffs was convicted of child sexual verbal abuse in marriage. Most of us who cherish our religious freedom would not only accept, but encourage the state's right to prohibit More]]> http://www.timogilvieblog.com/thoughts-on-mcgurn-religion-and-the-cult-of-tolerance/feed/ 0 http://www.timogilvieblog.com/some-thoughts-on-you-need-a-plan-to-boost-retirement-income/ http://www.timogilvieblog.com/some-thoughts-on-you-need-a-plan-to-boost-retirement-income/#comments Wed, 22 Feb 2012 21:51:16 +0000 admin http://www.timogilvieblog.com/some-thoughts-on-you-need-a-plan-to-boost-retirement-income/ While I enjoy these types of article, there is one overriding issue, the 800lb Gorilla if you will. Most people near the traditional retirement what age can i retire are not even close to having enough money. On a WSJ Blog last month, Pew Research had a poll indicating the 40% of America could not even raise $2000 in 30 days (by More]]> http://www.timogilvieblog.com/some-thoughts-on-you-need-a-plan-to-boost-retirement-income/feed/ 0 http://www.timogilvieblog.com/my-view-on-the-elusive-search-for-aliens/ http://www.timogilvieblog.com/my-view-on-the-elusive-search-for-aliens/#comments Wed, 22 Feb 2012 21:49:47 +0000 admin http://www.timogilvieblog.com/my-view-on-the-elusive-search-for-aliens/ Carl Sagan thought we should talk to the extraterrestrials by way of the hydrogen frequency. We are definitely doing something wrong; we may want to look at the frequency of neutrinos or some other subatomic particle like the god particle, Higgs boson. We may not have the technology yet to detect the frequency of a neutrino, or More]]> http://www.timogilvieblog.com/my-view-on-the-elusive-search-for-aliens/feed/ 0 http://www.timogilvieblog.com/a-commentary-on-recruiters-warn-of-employees-heading-for-greener-pastures/ http://www.timogilvieblog.com/a-commentary-on-recruiters-warn-of-employees-heading-for-greener-pastures/#comments Wed, 22 Feb 2012 21:48:10 +0000 admin http://www.timogilvieblog.com/a-commentary-on-recruiters-warn-of-employees-heading-for-greener-pastures/ As a recruiter, I know a lot of people that are itching to jump ship. They've stayed put because they know it love sucks at their current employer but it also sucks at potential employers. The poison you know over the poison you don't know.

You seem to have some deeply held beliefs that might be worth expressing but when you try to articulate them you come off as a bit out of balance.

Obama made it quite clear that he preferred class warfare to governing all the way back to 2008.

As a number of posts have indicated, the problem may be about the prepaartion of candidates versus the difficulty of the test anxiety tips. If Priamerica really wants to address the issue then focus attention on the preparation for the test versus dumbing down the test.

You antigovernment people forget that we the people pay for this guy's greedy game and it has almost nothing to do with any larger property right issues. It's a scam, and it has no bearing on normal eminent domain cases, which do not involve handpicked parcels with iffy development potential.
