Italiansurg; Its nice you bought a sandwich for a homeless person but your reference of him as "my regular bum" was degrading and unkind.

Heaven forbid that a "Job Creator" play by the same rules in place for everybody else. Entitlements, handouts ....seems like Mr. Caruso likes those when they benefit him.

I will always remember the intense heat from that fire, having lived in San Roque at that time not far from Foothill. The trees and the structures facing Foothill Rd were actually HOT to the touch. Flying firey embers showering down on the rooftops and I was out there with a garden hose keeping the roof wet. A very scary time.

As in my previous post I would again like to thank God, this time for the fact that we are having this debate in cyberspace. Could you imagine...... well I hate to even think about it.

Oblati; you want me to read from a wider selection of resources, well I don't think I need to since I read your comments and that pretty much tells all I need to know. I think you are the Father of hoary blame games, take for instance, and I quote "Roosevelt socialism created the mess we have now" Talk about being late in the game, Bush wasn't even born when that "mess" (which actually saved our country) was created.

Oblati; just so I understand you correctly we, as a country, are in the mess we are in because of FDR, for one, but mostly because of the Democratic Party and their insatiable spending? What about George W. Bush and the GOP adding trillions to our debt as a result of starting two wars and putting them on credit cards. Shouldn't we blame Bush and the Republicans a little bit too? Evidently Bush's policy and reasoning made much more sense: "Cut taxes, spend and borrow."
