Castuserraticus Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 And it's the same thing that happened in Har Megido over 1000 years ago. (It's now known more commonly as Armageddon.) It was at the crossroads of the richest trading routes in the world. Unfortunately for them it was also built on a majorly active fault and shipping by sea came to be favoured over camels. Getty also built lots of golf courses in small towns, raised the level of Buffalo Lake, and leased every tree in the province for pulp. He did the same thing most politicians do when the economy is strong - tax and spend. Oops actually the economy wasn't strong then so he did what politicians do when the economy needs a boost - borrow and spend. Neither are generally done with plans beyond the next election. Our system is not conducive to long term planning. Parties try to oust each other through destructive criticism. If one replaces the other they promptly tear down what the other built.

Of course, that's not counting most of the stuff I've written Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
