Bailout Good 2

More Angel Jimenez [Editor's Note: Tony has known A.J. since elementary school. No wonder he puts up with him!]:

I just stopped by the local library yesterday. I don't know why more
people don't do this -- how Blockbuster or Border's even exists is beyond
me.

I got the final season of Charmed (what a series) along with Def Leppard's
Yeah! and the latest Marooned 5 album, along with U2's Vertigo album. I've
been listening to the music this afternoon while assembling my new bed -- man,
can you believe Windows Media asked me if I wanted to rip these songs?
Well, duh!

I didn't check any out this time, but they have a WHOLE BUNCH of audio
books on CD, too. I think I might listen to the 26-CD John Adams book at
work next month.

Government provides great services like this -- I guess Vahl and talk radio
doesn't want me to borrow a book for free? They probably think libraries
are communist.

God forbid poor people get essential services for their brain. I
always see tons of grade school and high school kids there in the evenings,
using the internet to research stuff and reading.

To me, the modern library would make the founding fathers proud. I
bet philosophers from Greek would be blown away by the free access to
information.

If the government can give us libraries, they can give us homes.
That's really how I feel.

Thanks again, Tony, for letting me share. I know we don't always see
I to I [editor's note: I think he meant eye to eye, but what he wrote looked
cool, so I left it in!], but you always let me write here no matter what.
So, that's cool.

Angel Jimenez: "Bailout Good"

And now, Angel Jimenez:

I don't understand why everyone is against the bailout plan. This is going to help everybody.

First of all, the government helping everyone get homes is a good thing. The government provides other essential services like education to everybody. That has helped level the playing field.

This bill will do the same for home ownership.

This bill also protects innocent people who bought two or three homes during the housing bubble. This will help them keep their credit scores high and safe, and reduce bankruptcies.

Smart people are a small part of the population. Like Spock said, "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." Smart people need to sacrifice some "Freedom" for the sake of the average and below-average intelligence people here in America and around the world.

Years from now, our descendents will thank us. They won't even understand what the hubbub was all about. They'll laugh about all the people who were against this, and couldn't see the good future to come.
