show us the money pages 412-413

I believe that Cyrus Habib has a point, why should we not have brail on money for the blind to be able to read.  They have to depend so  much on others when it comes to this.  We take for granted that we visually see what we are spending but so many get taken advantage of and robbed.  It would give them a chance to become more self sufficient and feel proud of themselves. 

Others have said that it is a waste of time, but how can helping someone to become more independent. It doesn't. 

Carol kills lizzie

How do you feel about this scene.  I was shocked, I just did not see it coming.  It makes you think though with children brought up in an environment how it will change their core values and some completely fly off the deep end as Lizzie did.  She wanted to hold ontot he idea that the walkers were people still.  That deep down inside a part of them was still there.  With this she kills her sister to prove to carol that she is right. 

She has also developed anti social behavior along with masochistic tendencies.  I am curios for those that watch the show what you think.  Do you feel carol did the right thing or do you think that Lizzie could ahve had a chance to come around. 

Carol and Lizzie scene were she kills her

In Praise of chain stores pages 421-423

Virginia Postrel argues in favor of chain stores.  She expresses the economic and social benefits.  I agree with her.  A mini mall brings not only employment but also tourists.  Its a place were families can spend a day walking together, having lunch in the food court.  

Life imitating art

I thought that this would be a nice light blog a bit of fun....I am sure most are familiar with the Disney animated feature "The Lion King." 

The three sets of photos show real and animated.  Simba and mufasa , pride rock,. and timone and pumba.  Yes I know all the characters laughing.  I wonder though the one with timone and pumba if that is photo shopped.  The other two seem possible.  What do you think.
