dave, dont get so worked up. your gonna bust somethin loose. you dont understand how it works. the people in power have all the people under them go around at election time and influence all the friends and relatives to get to the polls. they do this for fear they will lose their jobs. and then you have the complacent ones 65% who just dont have the time to go vote. picture coming into veiw yet? thought so. big moneyed players have smart people look at the area before they invest. one of the big things they look at is the education level of the average citizen, which will tell them how much disposable income they will spend. pickin up what im puttin down Dave? soooooooo, that being said, lol, what say you? im still hoping for the best, but 35 years ago i thought about investing in all the empty lots in east st louis, i thought and still think one day it will be some of the most valuable land in america, when all the pale faces return after they fled for safety. im glad i didnt, im getting a little long in the tooth here. this conversation is too taxing, lol, pun intended. but, on a bright note, one of my new customers just relocated back here from Eville, said he couldnt stand the high taxes up there. also said there was way too much progress up there for him. oh well, i gotta take a nap.
