I started wondering this when a fellow co-worker of mine bought a house 2 years ago because EVERYONE around her was buying houses. She bought knowing she couldn't afford ownership on her salary but she didn't want to be left out(oh brother,what a lemming!) and now she is in pre-foreclosure.

Could alot of the debt in this country be linked to the need to "fit-in"?

Well, many highly intelligent people on YA agree and it highly refreshing to see the British cynic see the wood for the trees.

Here's an interesting article even New Labour supporters may be intersted in:

http://www.lobster-magazine.co.uk/articles/rrtalk.htm
"the people round Blair are all linked to the United States or the British foreign policy establishment whose chief aim, since Suez, has been to cuddle up to Uncle Sam. This group's orientation is overseas; this is the territory of the Foreign Office and its think tank satellites like the Royal Institute for International Affairs.

"...the source of the tension between socalled Old and New Labour. For who are the Labour Party's traditional constituencies? British domestic manufacturing; and British public sector workers. Old Labour is the domestic economy; New Labour is the overseas British economy- the multinationals, the City of London, & the Foreign Office which represents their interests..."

The Traitor's plot thickens...?

We recently bought a house with a small outdoor concrete pond. We were told by the previous owners at closing that they used to keep fish in the pond.
It looks like it holds around 60 - 80 gallons of water. There is a drain hole right in the center, but there is no pump or filter. It hasn't held fish for a some time since the sellers had rented the house for a few years before selling.
What do we need to do to turn this into a fish pond? I'm willing to tackle almost any DIY project, but I would prefer not to have to dig up my yard if it can be avoided.

Does that mean that, here on earth, the closer I get to a red hot fire, the cooler it becomes or is there other reason why the sun-earth relationship is different?

First off, capital gains are already taxed at the corporate level. Stock is a share of a taxable firm. A firm’s shares trade at a multiple of forward earnings. If the Street thinks XYZ will earn $1/share before taxes in the next 12 months, and its P/E is 10, and it is taxed at 35%, then a share of XYZ will trade at $6.50, not $10. If XYZ announces a new contract and now the Street thinks it will earn $1.20 before taxes, the stock doesn’t go up $2/share – it goes up $1.30/share. The gain is already reduced by virtue of the corporate level taxed.

So there shouldn’t be any tax – but there is one, albeit a lower one.

But that lower rate applies only if you’ve held the asset for a year or more. Why?

There's somebody to show you to a booth/table, but you get up and serve yourself. You may or may not have to bus your own dishes & utensils.

that Scientology is crazy?

I visited a "church." They locked me in a room (literally locked) and showed me a movie about how I'd be an idiot if I didn't become a Scientologist...
