Some thoughts: MSAE is dying because the pipeline is drying up. The baby boomers made up the biggest wave of the TMO and their children have mostly passed MSAE age. There is no other big wave on the horizon. MSAE can't bring in kids from Ethiopia like MUM can. Without those foreign students, MUM would have died already. If the hogs aren't stopped, Fairfield may be ruined. Or it may not be too bad in town - just in the rural areas - depending on which way the wind blows (you don't need a weatherman to tell you that). The places you mentioned - Boulder, etc. - are VERY expensive. Talk about losing money! You have to have big bucks to move there now. A friend of mine cashed in his Boulder home which he had purchased a decade or two ago and was able to buy a nice place on 16 acres in rural Colorado and become semi-retired. There's some heavy shit coming down the pike IMO, and I don't mean pig manure. Epidemics, earth changes, earthquakes, rising sea levels (flooded coastal cities), terrorist attacks, economic collapse, social turmoil. Five years from now Fairfield might look like a very good place to live even if we are surrounded by hogs. But let's keep fighting to keep them piggies at bay. Hog confinements are symptomatic of a barbaric society. If world consciousness really does rise - smoothly or cataclysmically - maybe they will become a thing of the past. I heard that Maharishi once said that people can either move to Fairfield now or come later as refugees. Maybe time will prove him right. ------------------------ Yahoo!
