Forgot to add that you can get these BIG Tubs-O-Popcorn at Wal-Mart for $2.50 :)
I can't argue with any point you have made. However I've been trying to make the same point for I don't know how long.....but alas there are those on this forum that refuse to see beyond the name "WalMart" and just accept as gospel what the media spoon feeds them.
But one day Atlas will shrug.
I don't often get a chance to listen to Laryy Elder....I just happened to finish work early and was able to hear him on my ride home. I can only listen to him in the car, because I can't get many signals in the house.
I haven't heard anything about how he is taking his mother's passing, as tonight was thefirst time I had heard him in ages, and didn't know about her passing until you mentioned it.
You're wicked, woman, truly wicked.
I guess that's why we get along so well :)
This is meant as sarcasm right? That is except for the engineer. Unless of course he spends 5 years learning to build roads, before he starts designing them.
In the context of my entire post, it was a real question.
WHY should a doctor get higher pay than a school teacher?
The answer: he shouldn't.
It is simply that he does because that's what the market will bid more for. We can look for all kinds of inherent differences between doctors and school teachers, but we'll not find anything that can't be argued.
The market on the other hand is what it is. It values doctors more.
;)
What was squalor just outside of Chinatown, is now be revitalized, led by the McCormick Place South expansion, and the all new west expansion. $500,000 townhomes are being built right now, in an area that I wouldn't walk through near dark. Its 2 blocks from one of the projects.
Bronzeville is more and more turning into a nicer area.
Theliberals love these areas, and think they are so cool. Just like all the people who loved buying these hip and trendy riverfront complexes. They thought it be so cool to live on the river and have their boat downstairs at theirown dock. That is until Comrade Daley taxed the begeezez out of the private docks, and people started tearing them out.
Big cities are filled with the "gimme something for nothing" crowd.
Jesse Jackson ( and his spawn) are from Chicago.
CHICAGO WINS! (or loses, depending on how you see it)
Who is John Gault?
The answer: he shouldn't.
Except that by the time the teacher is finishing their education, a doctor is just beginning their medical education.
Teachers all the time screw up in their jobs. Look at Ward Churchill, or Berkley, or any other school. What is the worse that happens? They misinform students all the time. Sometimes the students unlearn all the stupidity and lies the teachers teach them, and they become conservatives. Meanwhile, a doctor screws up, and somebody ends up paralyzed or dead.
Lastly, as far as value. A doctor is a necessity. Without them peoples quality of life diminishes. Teachers on the other hand for the most part can be done without. Good parents would homeschool, and would have "teachers" for very few things.
Don't these idiots know that the big box stores are the biggest collectors of sales tax which is the lion's share of capital for city governments. When the big box stores move to the suburbs the city governments in the surrounding area will be making a killing from people who drive from Chicago to shop. What a bunch of dumbasses.
All good arguments. All able to be argued against.
The doctor makes more because the market values him more.
Howdy.
Larry is on both XM and Sirius satellite radio. I have XM so I get Larry, Rusty Humphries, Laura Ingraham, Mike Reagan, Sean Hannity. I love it - I have one in the house and one in the car. There's nothing like listening to a c-span showdown like kerry-bolten while your cruising down the highway.
Up to my neck in grand kids right now but thanks for the ping.
The nearest "big" city to me is Peoria, Illlinois about 100,000 population and we have our share of libs around here too.
My Rep in congress is Republican Ray LaHood, which in my opinion is an improvement over the one prior to him, Bob Michel.
I witnessed a woman all but throw herself on the ground when she saw a minor water spill not yet having a sign in front of it. The person in front of her knocked something over. Found out later this person was her nephew.
It was a scam.
I hope she was found guilty of the scam!
