I started asking myself what do all the blue counties have in common that the red ones don't. It seems to me there is a very close correlation to whether that county has a large city in it. Counties with large cities are almost always blue and counties without large cities are almost always red.

Even in the so-called "red states", locate that state's biggest city and You'll most likely see that it's blue. Conversely, even in the blue states, if you look for rural counties they are red.

I have a theory that the difference boils down to whether the voters believe in competition or cooperation. Do they believe "We're all in this together" or do they believe "It's every man for himself." Cooperators tend to live in cities and that's why those counties tend to vote for Democrats.

Big cities have more traffic lights, parking meters, curbside garbage pickup, etc. which are all examples of government requiring people to cooperate in order to make things run smoothly. People who believe in private property and the right to shoot trespassers can't stand living in big cities, so the move to the country and vote for Republicans.]]> 12 Feb 10 17:45:00 GMT http://www.marktaw.net/forum/topic.php?TopicId=31&Posts=0 J.

I read your blog about ohm ratings and have a question. I own a 4x12 cab with 16ohm speakers. Will there be a sonic difference if I wire the cab to run at 16ohm vs 4ohms? Or will the sound stay the same? In regards to the amplifier, it has 16,8,4 and 2 ohm outputs. If I run the setup at 4 ohms will it put more stress on the amplifier and/or cabinet? I'd assume that if the speakers are rated at 16ohms, they perform the best at 16ohms. However this "assumption" of mine is the reason for this message.

Thanks, and Happy Holidays,

Taking the proper steps early in life will assure that we have the funds needed to sustain our lively hood during retirement.  It's always better to have more than enough.  You can always give it away to family, friends, the government, or anyone else you want to help.

Great read.]]> 2 Oct 09 01:07:11 GMT http://www.marktaw.net/forum/topic.php?TopicId=14&Posts=1 David Kiser: 'Does this sound familiar? It should, becaues it's the basis of not only The Matrix, but The Terminator as well. Sophia Stewart successfully sued Joel Silver (the producer of both Terminator and The Matrix seris) and the Wachowski Brothers for copying her story. According to some sources, the Wachowski Brothers regularly referred to her manuscript while making the Matrix.'


Actually,  she didnt successfully sue any of them,  the case was dismissed as she didnt even show up for court...

Just found your site while looking for productivity tools. I like the govt. debt charts (I like the charts but not the debt!), and notice something interesting.

Notice in 1980 when Reagan came into office how the govt. spending as percentage of GDP goes up. Then it goes down when Clinton was President and up again when Bush entered office.

So much for being conservative - fiscally, anyway! It's ironic that Republicans claim the mantle of responsible spending when what they have actually done is anything but.]]> 11 Mar 09 13:47:40 GMT http://www.marktaw.net/forum/topic.php?TopicId=3&Posts=0 gerald: I expected that the melt down would show up in those
charts?

So we are looking at the wrong charts or its not as bad as
ot seems.
