| More liberal crap... I live in Michigan...along with a "majority" of union types/auto workers etc. Not that there is anything wrong with unions/autoworkers (blah blah blah) Michigan currently is 50th in the nation with regard to economic growth, and basically also the worst in the nation with regard to employment. Now, I'm not one of those *types*, and eagerly await the day I can sell my home and move south. But yet, these "Michiganders" apparently support Jeniffer Granholm (current failed governer) for governer re-elections according to recent polls against DeVoss. I CAN'T believe this! How f'n stupid can the sheople be? -- ~Rick www.BrethrenoftheCoast.net |

(adjusted for inflation and time and interest spent?) If so, and you want to move, do so. Forget about "what it's worth". It's worth what you are willing to part for it for, and what someone is willing to buy it for. "Worth" is what the final price is, and all other numbers are merely some real estate agent's wish. "Worth" goes up and own according to supply and demand and other market pressures. As I said, if you really want to move, don't let 'worth" stand in your way. -- “TAANSTAFL” __________________________________________________ __________________________ "A prudent man foresees the difficulties ahead and prepares for them; The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences." - Proverbs 22:3 __________________________________________________ __________________________ |

[Oh sure you can!] According to her campaign commercial she is responsible for Toyota building new auto-related plants in the State with XXX new jobs and it's just the start of the economic recovery. (That's why she's running for reelection.) Hey, at least Michigan made the list; what do you want? That's some of the nice things about the U.S.; you can vote and live where you want. |

So the same thing as the difference between skill and luck... As those of us who have cheated Darwin over the years know oh-so-well... |
