This is very heartening. Gracias, el gringo! [And, personally every cop I've met has been really nice to me. And the debt crisis doesn't really affect me yet.

[And, personally every cop I've met has been really nice to me. And the debt crisis doesn't really affect me yet. I'm just paranoid, I suppose.]
- iamelgringo 16y agoIf the Bay area isn't working out for you, it isn't working out for you, and god speed if you want to try something else out. Media companies don't make money unless people come to visit their site. Few things attract repeat readers and viewers like shock, awe and titillation--things that incite strong emotions like fear, anger or arousal. Shock, awe and titillation have been Rupert Murdock's m.o since he started putting porn/glamour girls in his tabloid newspapers in the 70's (ref http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_Three http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_Three ). He uses the same formula with many of his Fox franchises, including Fox News. As much as I love the site, shock, awe and titillation are also Reddit's staples. So, take both Reddit and Fox news with a huge grain of salt. Hang in there. Please, don't give up on this country yet, we need people like you to turn our economy around.
