TV and video games may intensify violence

Well, the Roman Circus was extremely popular and appealed to a significant constituency, and look where it is today.

San Diego, haven for pyramids

Amway's expensive, but there are a few of their products I repeatedly buy because of the high quality. My Amway rep has repeatedly tried to recruit me, but there's no way I'd volunteer to take a pay cut compared to what I do.

My alma-mater, which isn't known as a football school, ended up ranked 18th, where did Wisconsin-Madison finish? We like to say that our football players know the difference between Socrates and Sophocles, as NU has a rather scholarly team. However, I suspect that professional football will go the way of the asbestos industry within the next couple of decades, as it should. When the litigation ball gets rolling, more lawsuits, and insurance becomes cost prohibitive, I suspect the people in charge will revisit the merits of football.

Not America's sweethearts

Hope they nail them. I hate fraudulent brokers. I like shells, and here;s a good source to kick the tires on a few shell corporations. Excellent way to go public without an expensive IPO. http://www.mergernetwork.com/index/public-shell...

While there is clearly a bull market in guns, the next bull market is going to be in ammunition, which is already in short supply.

Economy for 2013: San Diego worse than state, nation?

But as speculators drive up RE or any other prices, they signal to the producers to produce more product. When speculators see too much inventory of anything, they sell, driving prices down, and again signaling the producers to not produce as much product. This is for anything, not just RE, stocks, bonds, commodities, anything with a market will have speculators. It's not a perfect system, but is the best there is, certainly much better than central planning.

Economy for 2013: San Diego worse than state, nation?

Interesting table here. http://infousa.state.gov/economy/overview/docs/... And that 300 billion mark was in 1992 dollars, I believe. But then again, nobody measured GDP until 1934 anyways, and anything before was just an educated guess, like it still is today.

Even adjusted for inflation, their net worths were still a huge % of GDP. If JDR had a cold, the entire economy would sneeze.
