Adventures In Dystopia

Happy Birthday Paco!

Love you!

Snoopy posted a great post, but I am unable to complete it tonight. Ah well sleepy time.

Live is good and more will be posted once I get some sleep!

Hugs LJ.

I'm ripping off this idea from shadowwolf13 based on her post here.

Here's the gist. In this post are several threads. Each thread starts with the name of a person on LJ (I'm starting with people I know, but feel free to add on). You reply to the thread with something nice to say about them.

I will send each person that's mentioned a note to let them know that something nice has been said about them.

Anonymous comments are certainly allowed, but I will be wielding the banhammer on any comments that are not in the spirit of this idea.

Please, have fun!

Gee, this is just one of the more shocking things in the news...

The Worst-Run Big City in the U.S: Despite its good intentions, San Francisco is not leading the country in gay marriage. Despite its good intentions, it is not stopping wars. Despite its spending more money per capita on homelessness than any comparable city, its homeless problem is worse than any comparable city's. Despite its spending more money per capita, period, than almost any city in the nation, San Francisco has poorly managed, budget-busting capital projects, overlapping social programs no one is certain are working, and a transportation system where the only thing running ahead of schedule is the size of its deficit.

Ok so that's not shocking at all. You really have to read this whole thing, it's mind blowing. I thought the federal government was bad but WOW, nothing tops this place.

It's a really long read, but a great one.
