US Plans To Bulldoze 50 Shrinking Cities

Posted by samzenpus on from the out-of-the-rubble-and-into-the-future dept.

chrb writes "Two days ago Slashdot discussed broke counties grinding their tarmac roads into gravel. Now the Telegraph reveals plans to raze huge sections of at least 50 US cities to the ground. The resulting smaller cities will be more economical to run, and the recovered land will be returned to nature."

    You mean the ranch Bush bought a few years before he was elected to make him look like an authentic Texan even though he was mostly raised and schooled in Maine and Connecticut?

    Well, Sardonic Laughter is appropriate. The laughter of the baby as it's consumed by Saturn's Sacrificial fires...

    Oh, and look, the idiot moderator modded you 'off-topic' as well. People really love whistling past the graveyard, don't they?

    Rock on Mr. Mod! Keep on burying your head in that sand, and remember it isn't real if you can't see it...

    You act as though any self respecting person needs any additional reasons to hate the worst president to ever be inflicted upon the country. But then, reality does not seem to be something people like you are acquainted with.

    I've heard a lot of people say Bush was our worst president ever.

    None of the people I've heard say it have a degree in history.

    For an awful lot of them, Bush was the first president to hold office during their adult lives.

    Bush and his administration had serious flaws, but if you're going to propagate this "worst ever" meme, then I for one would like to know where you fall on the spectrum of historical perspective.

    That might be funny, but of course George W. Bush wasn't born in Crawford, so you point is probably accurate.

    But still...Bush jibes? Got any Ike jokes? Or haven't you retooled your programming for the new Fool-in-Chief?
