#1 London is the world's third most expensive city. He won't be happy until it passes Tokyo and Osaka.

#6 Reminds me of the Laficornian Militantly Laid-Back Mantra:
Have A Nice Fucking Day, Or Else

I'm thinking Red Ken is waay behind the New Age curve. He hasn't been to Marin County. This sort of Stalinist Feel-Good Govt Interference was already passé in the 80's.

Been there, done that, it's nice to know how, but a hell of a lot of work, I won't do it again unless absolutely necessary.
