homeowner's association

A dictatorial body of self-righteous, arrogant and controlling neighborhood busybodies who think they have a right to tell you what to do with your property, and won't hesitiate to turn you in for the smallest thing including keeping a car they don't like on your driveway, painting your house, manicuring your lawn, etc. It's basically a legalized form of extortion and facism.

A HATE ALL homeowner's association.

Columbus

The state capital and largest city of Ohio. A small-to-medium sized city and 16th largest in the U.S., with about 700,000 in the city and another million in the metro area. It will NEVER have the profile of New York, Phily, Boston, San Fran, Chicago or L.A. but is more comparible to its peer cities of Indianapolis, Louisville or Kansas City. It's a nice college town with plenty of bars, but keeps a very low profile. It is known for nothing except for Ohio State University football. OSU is the single-largest university in the country by student body. Columbus is a progressive metropolis however with a generally young, educated population, where jobs in high-tech industries are growing rapidly. All in all, Columbus is a nice city to live in with several hip neighborhoods.

I wouldn't mind living in a city like Columbus, but would never live there because I hate Ohio.

class warfare

Competition between socioeconomic classes: rich, middle-class and poor. It occurs most often in capitalist countries where politicians use it to get votes, by enacting legislation that supposedly puts one class at an advantage over the other. For example, liberals and Democrats in the United States often use the words TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH as an excuse to not support a tax cut of any kind to anyone, while Republicans complain that high taxes are burdensome for the rich and owners of small business (middle-class). In the Presidential election of 2008, Democrat candidate Barack Obama accused his opponent, Arizona Senator John McCain, of owning too many homes while McCain charged Obama of being out of touch with middle-class, middle American ideals. Politicians also utilize class war in an effort to promote universal healthcare, claiming it will help the poor and put everyone at an even playing field, but conservatives claim it will create burdensome taxes on the rich. Class warfare is also seen in corporate America as lower paying employees or members of unions sometimes protest what they perceive as unfair business practices of rewarding corporate executives with big bonuses, excessive raises and inflated salaries, while the lower paying middle-class workers are forced to accept pay cuts and job losses and concessions. The redistribution of wealth is another example where the rich are forced to surrender more of their earnings in higher taxes and give them to the poor. Another example is found in welfare, that gives money to the poor.

Wheather class warfare exists or not, ALL politicians use it to their advantage to get votes.

propaganda

Persuasion using, lies, “fuzzy” math, and manipulation. Replacing the truth with lies. Creating truth rather than voicing it. What the biased media uses to “report” the news and persuade you. What has replaced traditional education in the public schools and universities in this country, and based on assumptions and hypothesis rather than truth.

Propaganda is what the liberals, politicians, and the media like to use to convince you that the war in Iraq is over oil or that George W. Bush is "evil" or that 9-1-1 was a government conspiracy---all hogwash crap based on crap.

beverly hills

The playground for the ultra rich and famous and identified by its palmtree-lined streets, sunshine and attrocious property values. A city of about 30,000 residents almost completely surrounded by the city of Los Angeles between Hollywood/West Hollywood to the east, Bel-Air to the West, Westwood and the campus of UCLA to the south and the Hollywood Hills to the north. Some of its most famous streets include Hollywood Blvd, Sunset Blvd., and Doheny Drive. Rodeo Drive and the Beverly Hills Hotel are probably its two most famous icons. B.H. is the world's capital of plastic surgery, bods and beamers. Its rich, arrogant, pretencious pricks can be frequently seen in their sunglasses driving an expensive car while talking on their cellphone.

Beverly Hills is a hideout for the rich and famous. Perhaps that's why the city has so many rehab clinics for Hollywood stars.

Civil War

the war that occurred in the United States during the 1860s under President Abraham Lincoln that caused the highest number of casualties than any American war. It was a war between the North (the Union) and the South (the Confederacy) that centered around slavery—the North wanted it abolished while the South permitted it for economic reasons. The central issue of slavery began to divide the country in the 1840s as members of Congress bickered over the issue and as new states entered the Union. When a new “free” state entered the union, a new slave state was required do the same to create a balance. It even divided certain states themselves-- Missouri and Virginia, by which West Virginia seceeded from it after the war.

The war began shortly after Abe Lincoln became President in 1861 when the Confederacy attacked the Union's Fort Sumter, South Carolina—allegedly by mistake--and didn’t end until 1865 when Confederacy General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union Commander Ulysses S. Grant in Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia. The Battle of Anteitem was the deadliest battle of the War. Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis should have all been hung afterwards for being a traitor to the United States, in my opinion.

The Civil war was the bloodiest war in American history and a very sad chapter in American history.
