  9. @galaga6846 Hate to stick it to DSM, but taxes are generally lower in the suburbs. Mine are $500 lower than a friend in DSM w/similar house. 10:18 PM May 15th via web in reply to galaga6846
  10. @galaga6846 Taxes cover parts of many of those, but the biggest share goes to schools. City gov't follows, then county, Broadlawns, etc. 10:16 PM May 15th via web in reply to galaga6846
  11. @galaga6846 Just think how much more awesome things would be today if we hadn't gone through the Dark Ages. Flying cars would be old tech! 9:30 PM May 15th via web in reply to galaga6846
  12. @galaga6846 They're excruciatingly high -- especially for commercial property. We really have to find a better way to pay for things. 9:28 PM May 15th via web in reply to galaga6846
  13. @galaga6846 To be fair to the Vikes, I'd probably be just as outraged if the state spent half a billion on free WiFi for the people... 7:53 PM May 13th via web in reply to galaga6846
  14. Nobody has hate in their heart. They have it in their heads. And then they choose not to think hard enough to overcome that hate. 5:11 PM May 11th via web
