How would Henry Dorn or Ayn Rand actually spin the story. What is the real truth behind what looks to be a simple story? I would love to read that or hell write it. Explain how giving up on values actually makes us less and not work as hard, tie it into Atlas Shrugged and the idea that great minds will walk away and accept simple jobs rather than give their great ideas away..... great story and great blog I just got through listening to the simplest thing in the world.. .and I believe you have something great in your comparison to Obama and the dream being preached right now… what would be really interesting is to actually write the “what if and wouldn’t it be interesting” behind the Obama message.

Obama is our president and clearly "He’s the personification of the shallow but popular novel Henry Dorn wanted to write. It should be the simplest thing in the world to see this, to see through him." but too many Americans didn't see "the simplest thing in the world." Are you scared yet? I am. Now what do you think?

These things are pretty slick, it's a stand with a Bag that has femae JB Lure on it. The JB's are attracted and fall into the bag and cannot fly out. No toxins on any of your plants. http://www.spectracide.com/ProductCategories/OutdoorInsecticide/BagABug/ I don't believe you'll make headway with them as you are fighting them. I grew up on 100 acres, we had a garden the size of a football field and flower beds by the dozen. We used Bag a Bugs everywhere. And instead of Irish Spring in the Nylons to deter the deer we used human hair that we picked up at the local beauty salon, they bagged some for us as we needed it. We also planted marigolds as Deer and smaller critters do not like their scent. There are other plants you can use as well, marigolds just worked the best for us. Good Luck with the JB's ~ because you are going to need it, they are nasty buggars ;) If you put up a bag a bug it will lure them and not put any chemicals on your plants.

He has written a number of scholarly articles on charitable giving in the U.S. and Europe. It seems that a major factor is Christianity. Christians whether conservative or liberal tend to give much more than non-Christians. The view of the role of government also seems to be a factor. Those who think the government should redistribute wealth are among the least likely to contribute voluntarily. I suppose that makes sense because otherwise they would be contributing double. As for accounting for income, obviously there are some very rich liberals like Bill Gates who donate a lot of money, but Brooks is talking about the ordinary person. He says that on the average a family in San Francisco and a family in South Dakota contribute the same amount annually to charity, yet the personal income of the family in San Francisco is 78% higher.
