In addition, individuals suffering from heart disease, eventually making them tadalafil free sample impotent. Impotence is not a disease but it signals that something is not correct with-in the body. Click Here discount levitra This clip of author Malcolm Gladwell speaking is well worth watching. He talks about the tax rates back in the 50s-70s, and how that benefited the country. That’s the era I grew up in – remember well the building of the interstate highway through my town, the construction of schools, sewer infrastructure spending, the race to the moon and more.

Honestly, from where I sit, the huge greed crisis we find ourselves in now began with the Republican rise in the 1980s, with Ronald Reagan and his cronies. That’s also when we saw the first large groups of homeless people on our streets. If you were born after 1980, or even the mid-70s, you would never remember that once this was a very different country.

I’d really urge you to watch this as he makes the case in a quite entertaining way, and also really illustrates the difference between the left and the current incarnation of Republican thinking. Spread and discuss.

Solar reflectors

Some good news – this project approved for my neck of the woods (neck of the sand…. somehow that doesn’t sound so good) right on top of all the funding approved for mass transit-train projects in California and L.A.

I daresay, that’s moving in the correct direction. I want that train! Money coming from the stimulus – oh yeah, that “failure” we’ve been being lied to about – to ratchet up the green economy and provide jobs in a much needed area of our state.

I post this on election day as a reminder that a lot of good things are in the pipeline – put there through the dogged determination of Democratic politicians.

Does anybody really think a solar energy project would get off the ground or even be talked about in a Republican administration? The oil and gas supplicant party? Remember, it was good ol’ Ronnie Reagan who removed the solar panels from the White House, that Jimmy Carter had installed.

I often wonder how life might be different in our country if we had had the collective wisdom to listen to Jimmy Carter’s concern about our environmental future. Perhaps there would have been no SUVs and no oil wars. Perhaps we’d be 20 years ahead of where we are now with trying to find a workable replacement for oil. And perhaps those things would have worked their way into our lives anyway, despite his best efforts.

While he’s widely viewed as a somewhat failed president, mostly by right-wing rewritings of history, I think Jimmy Carter was way ahead of his time. He’s the first president I ever got to vote for! Now that’s appropriate for this election day.

A bit of A Forest Dark…

The Perelson place.

Not far from KCET in the steep hills above Los Feliz Boulevard, there was an abandoned house where a bizarre murder-suicide had taken place 25 years earlier. In 1959, middle-aged dentist Harold Perelson killed his 42-year-old wife Lillian with a ball-peen hammer, then drank a glass of acid to finish himself off.

The house was on a great slice of land with an even greater view of the Los Angeles basin and, on clear days, Catalina Island. For one reason or another, no one had lived in the house since the murder and it intrigued Sandy Torkelson no end.

“Go up there and do a piece on this place,” he told Noah. “Work up that haunted house thing, we’ll save it for Halloween. Can Eden dress up like that Elvira woman from Channel 9?”

She could and she did. Eden told Noah she was grateful for an assignment like this, as with the waning days of summer Olympics-related stories were few and she was sure Sandy was marking his calendar to the date when she would no longer be his intern.

In Dallas, that prick Henry von Eiff had utterly failed to convince President Reagan to rid the ticket of George H. W. Bush and put him on it instead, which reduced Eden’s currency with Sandy considerably. Noah thought she was getting better at this TV interview thing, but then again, it wasn’t his opinion that mattered.

Anyway, they’d found that the Perelson yard was like a corner of an abandoned park and hiked up there a couple of times afterward just for fun. Today they’d have a picnic, just the two of them.

Without regular waterings, the grounds had reverted back to their mostly indigenous plants and encroaching chaparral, with the occasional rosemary bush and eucalyptus tree providing agreeable scents and from the latter, shade.

A couple of heavy, cracked stone benches were still there. The Herculean effort it would take to steal them was probably just not worth it to most people. Noah and Eden sat on one, and spread their lunch out on the other.

“Egg salad or … tuna? I guess that’s what this is,” he said….
