Engage on facebook for great conversations

If you aren't even a member of facebook, this post may seem foreign. So join today so you can get in on the conversations.
OK, now to those of you who've joined, there are some great conversations going on online that you're missing. I'm going to challenge you to spend the couple minutes a day it takes to engage conservative thinkers. Here's an example from some of my real estate contacts, having a debate about the relative merits of the bailout bill, the one supposedly written to help their industry.

Mike,
as I'm sure you've seen, I have pretty strong opinions about this
'bailout bill' and personally believe that it will provide temporary
relief, but in the long run, we've just sold our soul to the devil.
Things will only continue to get worse, as the dollar continues to
weaken and we'll see a MASSIVE collapse of our financial system in 5 to
... Read More10
years that will be much more difficult to repair than our current
situation. It's like continuing to live on credit cards when you don't
have the money to even make the minimum payments. It catches up to you
quickly and compounds your problems. That's the scenario our our
wonderful representatives just FORCED us into.
Oh,
and did I mention the vulnerability we're creating for our military...
as our economy continues to weaken and we can't afford our military
forces, we're opening the door to the terrorists, and get ready for
China or Russia to move in as they continue to build.
Ryan- Fire up the webcam and get those ideas into the conversation. Here's the link: http://seesmic.com/video/yoT30tM5jB
Hey
Ryan! I so agree with you! This is a dangerous time and people are too
blind to see. This bail out plan is not going to help in the long term,
it is not even a temp bandaid, a very expensive one at that.
We need to be strengthening our dollar. I can't believe we got sold out again. Have you seen the crap in this 400+ pages of you know what!

Katerina,
yes I have. It's amazing that this bill went from 4 pages (defeated) to
over 450 pages of BS in a matter of days, and now magically the
majority are for it?! The system is so corrupt that it's disgusting. I
say throw them ALL out and start from scratch! I'm seriously thinking
about an emergency exit plan for ... when it does all fail... like maybe going to Canada?
Ryan-
Canada? Socialism? You should see the lines to get in to see a doctor
there! I have a lot of friends who moved here from Canada and they say,
it is still better here. But then again, if a certain person becomes
President, our small business will be taxed into the ground and the tax
totals would equal 55%, 2nd highest in the world, I even ... think Canada is only at 50%. Hmmmm, how about New Zealand? Or just get away from it all and go to Figi!
Hi
everyone great comments: I said the same thing about socialism etc...
read Micky's comment on my page, when asked him about this question
Wow,
terrific conversation last night. The bailout out bill was a porksters
dream. The longer a house rep or senator held out the more they got in
pork. We surely don't need more government in real estate or mortgage
finance, we need a lot less.
Ryan, your discussion of long-term vs short-term is very appropriate, haven't we done the same to ... our publicly traded companies, forcing them to make short term decisions "or else" we pound the stock prices down. We are part of the problem, because we're basically too lazy to think longer than a week or two ahead.
