Fascinating blast from the past -(10 years ago)!
This thread is very wide ranging and filled with interesting comments from educated articulate posters.
Contrast that to the current environment where Patnet content is 90% one liners and meme pictures, in response to generally nonsense topics....
@Patrick - Note, I am not trying to denigrate 2018 posters as I too like to crack jokes and fling poo on occasion. Still even when the issue isn't housing, how did the TONE of this site change from this thread to what it is now?

10 years ago, memes weren't as prevalent.
You might be trying to make a point about PatNet itself, but you're ignoring the larger cultural bubble that PatNet resides within.

He screwed up big time, I wouldn't call him a hero. Hero is reserved for people who endanger themselves to help others, he did no such thing. He's just a failed politician. Let's leave past in the past... and work on the future instead.
I voted for Obama, not because Obama was great, but because I saw McCain as another Bush, and Bush was a failure for everyone. He failed conservatives, he failed America.

@Patrick - it would be great that Anons that gripe about the "Way Pat.net used to be before Donald Trump won the election." could be labeled "Anonymous Flouncer Returned_1A" or some such.
Also can I suggest this as an anti-Bot measure for Anon posts?

President Bush disagrees with the bailout plan:

Let's be real. The Iraq War might have been mismanaged, but Bush seems to be capable of making sensible decisions in tax and housing.
