So... Soviet Russia had it right? Big, ugly and cheap buildings are the way to go? American conservatives never cease to surprise me.

- ericd 16y agoDon't bring that here. Invoking Communism, the Nazis, etc. is generally not a good debate tactic, and panning an entire party is especially unwelcome. Given the fact that CA is nearly bankrupt, this seems to me to be a travesty. It may not be the absolute worst way to spend money (please don't invoke wars), but it shows a pretty flagrant disregard for the fiscal realities of things. Do you see why people might reasonably be unhappy about this?
- gahahaha 16y agoMy point was that beautiful surroundings matter. I assumed that comparing the US to the USSR was so ludicrous that my real point would be obvious. But the Internet is not a place for subtleties.
- balding_n_tired 16y agoBeautiful surroundings are a fine thing. But I've seen some good schooling done in pretty ugly buildings. In general I suspect the American propensity for applying capital solutions to labor-intensive problems.
