The more things change . . . . .

the more they stay the same.

At least it is appearing that way in the news stories today.

2007 is like 1969? Well there are some similarities, a war the media and liberals think is lost, a presidential election being held next year and . . . . . . . well maybe not so much.

2007 is like 1991? Well in the real estate market it appears to be a repeat or at least the beginning of a repeat of the early 1990s. Home builders are aggressively trying move their inventory with rebates and give aways before its too late.

Anti-Semitism of the 1930s is making a comeback in 2007. Very sad, but this time Israel exists as a nation, has one true friend (the US) and has nuclear weapons.

In other news:

Vermont and other States (including California) may not have new cars to buy in 2014. The auto makers have said if the rules passed by California and adopted by 11 other States is allowed to stand, they will pull out of those markets because they can't meet the rules. I hope they (the auto makers) do it so EVERY politician can be reminded that passing a law doesn't solve the problem and that the politician works for the voters, many who may be out of work if the auto makers pull out of these States.

Global Warming advocates are now saying we must do what they say to cut carbon dioxide emissions even if global warming is a hoax. It will make us a better society so we should do it anyway. If Al Gore and the rest would lead by example, I might be more convinced. Traveling in a private jet instead of flying commercial or living in a house that uses 20 times the energy of the average family per year (and Gore has 3 of them) demonstrates how much he believes in his cause, not much.
