I always associated him with LA, where he first started making a mess.<br /><br />His first house is a lovely bit of DIY anarchy though. It appealed to the punk in me.<br /><br />I don't blame him though; I have always maintained that northern climes are unforgiving on architectural trickery, and any flaws will be exposed by the freeze-thaw cycle.<br /><br />So, is Gehry a Neil Young kind of Canuckist export, or a Mark Steyn sort?<br /><br />Also, he has a fish fetish, and I canNOT support that kind of sickness.

Come to think of it haven't we just come through a serious economic downturn caused by a bubble in the property market with far too much loaned money being over-leveraged to blue sky mining property developers? 1987 anyone?

Althoug...Over here we a very large budget deficit. Although congress is expressly charged with managing funding at the federal level, they are confronted by two intractable problems. First, non-military discretionary spending is a very small fraction of federal expenditures, and therefore in order to actually have an effect on the 'problem', somebody's sacred ox is going to have to be soundly and repeatedly kicked in the nuts.<br /><br />Second, you use this word 'tax'. In America, despite our large and growing demands for every greater levels of services, military actions, corporate subsidies and entitlements, we think that word describes the work of satan himself, and are therefore both broadly and specifically opposed to any tax, at all, period. To whatever extent that taxation is to be tolerated, it is greatly preferred that it be in the form of payroll taxes and their ilk, which fall disproportionately on the working middle class, rather than income taxes, which are paid (when they can't be avoided) by the wealthy.<br /><br />Indeed, by now, you won't find a politician willing to even USE the word 'tax', as if saying it three times aloud might bring it to some kind of horrific, shambling life, and THEN what would we do, hmmmm? <br /><br />So anyway, congress likes to talk about reducing the deficit, but they lack the courage to describe any action that would actually do this, because it would either mean taking something away (even if it's just the waste in medicare) or raising taxes. So they have decided they will appoint a commission to reach all the unacceptable conclusions they can then vote against, thereby solving the problem (of having to do something about the deficit)...mikeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057701313718589322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2814819843269246078.post-54124145005574809332010-01-21T09:39:10.865-08:002010-01-21T09:39:10.865-08:00In my experience people are just as happy with the...In my experience people are just as happy with the regular sycos as the phancy ones anyway.Substance McGravitashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04118764163822188800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2814819843269246078.post-34102753014877484632010-01-21T04:59:56.022-08:002010-01-21T04:59:56.022-08:00Sounds like a worldwide phenomenon.
