whatanadvocate's Main Street Answers

If citizens are so angry with our government, how come they keep voting in Democrats and Republicans?

Because of our Cockamamie 2 party system and our general public's inability to care about real issues and make their own decisions up. We can't get things like health care taken care of when people vote only because they don't want gay marriage or abortions. Can't you people see that those issues are distractions from what really goes on? We need another Ross Perot to keep our major parties honest......er......lets not kid ourselves here.


What issues do you break party lines on?

I fully believe in Equal Opportunity, but I vehemently oppose Affirmative Action. I also believe that equal opportunity is a two way street. I believe in capitalism, but I also believe in the theory that one should know when they are rich enough and then that person should start worrying about others. I believe that a healthy stock market is crucial, but not when profits are shown through lowering expenses by laying people off. I guess I'm a centralist. I also think that dumbing our political system down to what amounts to a flip of a coin is an insult to every single american and the pandering that our country does to us to manipulate our votes is treason.



Who do you think is best Ron Paul or Obama in 2012?

Of course he is. That's a loaded statistic. Let me ask you...if you were happy with Obama, would you go on the internet and tell everybody why he's better than ron paul? no ...you'd think about butterflies, or your car, or your house payment. If you hate obama and want to speak out against him, you'll be attracted to the internet to voice your dissent, because that's where one has the ability to anonymously state their opinion for others to see. Plus the people that back Ron Paul are more media elusive and seek out their information more than letting it come to them. The internet, as passive as it is, is still a proactive activity. You still have to put in effort to derive value. Dissenters are always going to be more media elusive and more willing to voice their own opinion as well. They don't buy into what is shoveled down their throats, so that right there shows independent thought. Now if only people would quit supporting that hairbrained fair tax nonsense. It's so laughably fallible.



What does it mean when Check Engine light stays on?

It means your car is running just fine. Don't ever put oil in it ever again though.

What does the warning light "Engine Check" that stays o all the time for a 328ci 2000 BMW mean

it means get the engine looked at.....and I probably have to add "by a professional". Something tells me you would have called your friend if I didn't say it.


At home oil lube and filter services

no....you're going to leak oil all over my driveway and probably ask to use my bathroom.


cost to get dogs nails cut?

last time I did it, I paid about $15 at a vet as a walk-in


cutting my dogs nails?

It's worth the fee to take him to the vet or a groomer and have them do it. They're trained to do it on all types of breeds and do it all day.


My dog's nails? I can't cut them?

I don't understand the reason you can't go to the vet. It's like $15 to have them do it and they're trained. If not a vet, take him to a dog groomer. If you don't clip the nails right, then you'll have an even more expensive vet bill


when will my piranhas stop running from me?

it's probably because they are vulnerable and think that anything bigger than them is going to eat them.


Is it dangerous to have piranhas as pets?

It sounds like fun to have a piranha.




Great name for a white fantail goldfish?

I have an even better one: FISHSCALE FISHSCALE - that white fishscale. chop it up. There you go, merchant circle.


What's the real estate market like in western North Carolina?

Too many rich people that want to live in the beautiful mountains. Values are higher than in places like Eastern Tennessee


Do you expect the real estate market to drop further?

The Bay is one of the most expensive places to live. It is INSANE how much people want for homes out there. Here's the thing about "now's the time to buy". who's saying it? R/E agents....you know why now's a good time to buy? ....their rent is due. Things haven't bottomed out until you see prices start to consistently increase. That's the only real way to know where bottom is...when it quits bottoming out. I personally think that now is NOT the time to buy. I think that values will continue to decrease. I work in the bankruptcy industry, just so you have an understanding of what I see all day. I personally haven't seen values bottom out yet and there is no way I would buy anything right now. I would rather pay DEFINITELY just a little more than the trough, than buy something now and find out 3 years from now that I got ripped off.

If democrats are so racist, why are most of the racist people I have met consider themselves republican?

"I heard a saying in my early 20's that I love: "If you are young and conservative, you have no heart. If you are old and liberal, you have no mind" Now. Why are republican's racist....it's not so much racist...it's eliteist and part of that is a percieved higher value than the next guy. They want to financially quarantine the ills of society into certain pockets of the city. Also, florida residents....I call them Florons.....are a generally racist group of people."
