    I DLed this instantly, and that "Out of Range" popup nearly stopped my heart. Why? Is it so much to ask to dream of New Yorks that never were from the comfort of the Canadian West Coast?

    Well, you have shown me the first iphone app I would ever be interested in if I were ever to buy an iphone. Novel, artistic, dreamy idea.

    New Yorkers are the biggest cowards in this country.


    9/11 obviously was a tragedy and some people have good reasons to be concerned... but at the same time NYers are the quickest to jump at their own shadows.


    Remember the steaming manhole incident? The city actually was sued for "scaring people" because there were morons who thought a steaming manhole was ZOMG ANOTHER TERRORIST ATTACK.


    Now shit like this and once again, PANIC. Hell it is so pathetically easy to scare them and induce some sorta riot or mob mentality among them just watch the next tragedy occur because of this weakness.

    @Deaf Mute: actually, not many people gave a shit. The news would have it portrayed as a panic, but frankly most people didn't notice.


    Just the opposite of our point is true. There are few other places in the world where crazy people of all types get ignored by pedestrians.

    I, for one, would dearly love to see him return--I've been trying to throw more "FUCKS" into my comments attempting to make up for his absence, but even all my efforts can't make up the loss.

    @ZLevee: Well first, citing consensus is an appeal to authority argument and a logical fallacy. Because most economist believe it means, well nothing realy. Beyond that most of the economist that do believe it are Keynesians; there are a couple of fairly large schools of economic thought that reject Keynesianism outright, and especially the idea that the spending is best done by the government. Further, even among Keynesians, there's debate as to the size of the stimulus, the core premise of which is you can substitute government spending for private sector spending; there are a number of Keynesians that believe the stimulus in current form stands a decent chance of making things worse. Because trickling in 2-3 trillion in government spending over a couple of years versus the 10 - 12 trillion annually of lost consumer spending in the larger economy is the equivalent of spitting on a forest fire, and if ineffective will do nothing but increase debt.
