 | Check the Pollution - cahoots on 4/24/13 at 8:53 pm
Today I learned that the Chinese check the pollution like we check the weather. I knew it was bad, but I didn't think it was this extreme.

| Obama and the Asian vote - cahoots on 1/4/13 at 4:50 pm
Why did 73% of Asians vote for Obama, the highest ever recorded? That's even higher than Hispanics.
In 1992, Bill Clinton received only 31%. Why the shift?

| Small Town America - cahoots on 12/18/12 at 6:13 pm
Generally speaking, small towns don't have a large enough tax base to sustain themselves. Even though infrastructure and services are limited, most sub 1000 towns are contributing 10 to 20 percent less than what they take in. Doesn't it seem like we're subsidizing small town folk? Is it worth it or ...

| The Woodlands =/= Houston - cahoots on 12/12/12 at 12:40 am
Why do people tell you something like "Houston is great" and then proceed to tell you that they live in Sugarland or The Woodlands? Same thing with other big cities and the areas around them.
Sugarland is nothing like Houston. Kenner is nothing like New Orleans. Round Rock is nothing like Austin....

| The Suburbs - cahoots on 7/19/12 at 10:05 pm
What prompted so much of America to develop into a suburban wasteland? Years ago, you had small towns with good BBQ and salt of the earth people. You had thriving cities full of opportunities. Why did we exchange these for endless feeder roads, Chili's restaurants, and general homogeneity? It just s...

| Impossible to remove viruses - cahoots on 1/30/12 at 4:50 pm
Haven't had a virus in years but just got the "Windows 7 Antispyware 2012" virus that pretends to help you remove viruses. Took me an hour to get rid of it because it doesn't let you run .exe files. You have to modify registry sh*t so you can run .exe's, run Rkill, run TDSkiller and then run Malware...

In light of the poli board's constant discussion (I use that term loosely) of issues concerning LA's economy and the role of private and public entities in creating jobs and wealth, what do you believe are the state's biggest obstacles moving forward?
Nepotism?
Inefficient university system?
