Off Topic-this has nothing to do with myabuy and is a personal opinion. Feel free share it if you like...

There is an uprising in Thailand because there is massive corruption, everyone knows about it, the opposition Democrat Party proved it in no confidence debate, and nothing changed. The Parliamentary system still voted on Party Lines and nothing got fixed or addressed. I think after people view that they see that as long as the current Parliament does not ask for or try to implement accountability what is the alternative.

It is very hot in Thailand. The weather is often humid and muggy, and now there is also a lot of rain.  Too many cars are in the city which makes the air on the streets not the most pleasant to inhale. The people who protests do not want to spend all day on the streets-most have jobs in nice air-conditioned offices. They are sacrificing their own personal comfort to try and change what is wrong. Protesting is what happens when there is no other outlet to combat corruption and bad governance. It is a shame but that is how things are in Thailand. That is in practical terms the only way to create people who do not support the current administration can make their voices heard....

A bankrupt state-how depressing!

Are you also ashamed that the State of California is bankrupt! I feel bad for everyone that is suffering because the rules to get a budget or bill passed are so asinine it's a joke. There is no way 2/3 of politicians will agree on anything-particularly if there is no incentive for the 1 or 2 state senators that seem to never say yes dig in deep. They do not care. I doubt our governor cares either. It is like he is playing a game of chicken-but if no one backs down he WILL be exposed as the most UNQUALIFIED governor in the U.S.-that is saying a lot considering some of the hacks that are Governors now (Jindal of Lousiana, Sanford of South Carolina anyone.) 

I find it a joke that Time once picked our California governor as one of the best in the U.S.-what the heck are they smoking! If anyone really thinks he is qualified to be governor-surprise California is bankrupt under his watch! I would be ashamed if I made California a laughing stock to the outside world-but I am not governor.  The whole situation stinks for all the people depending on the State for help-I feel particularly bad for California college students. They got the short end on this. I doubt many colleges accept IOU's in lieu of tuition.

Our governor took a huge dump on California and he DOES NOT take responsibility. He needs to grow a pair and stop being a spineless worm. Did the steroids cause his balls to drop off. lol Stand up to the 1 to 2 people in the Republican party who refuse to budge. If he does not he can add coward, to the list of unflattering things expressed by residents-maybe not in this area but judging from the TV demonstrations he is not a popular fellow.

Sorry for the off topic rant-but more people in Mountain View and surrounding areas should be speaking up-this affects everyone including us in Silicon Valley! If you do not express your opinion-nothing changes. This is not idealism but reality.  

Viva myabuy.com and god speed.
