Pondering the midwest
Greetings
In yesterdays Register a big deal was made about some of the Iowa Legislatures plans on ways to get the youth of the state to stick around. The proposal thats catching all the attention is that no one under the age of 30 would pay state income tax. Following the article were lots of quotes from people of several ages, the under 30's all sounded like 'sure the money is nice but this might not be a good deal really for the state' and all the over 30's were mostly 'screw them they should have to pay cause we did'. The debate rages then on what is needed to keep the youth around. It's something I was thinking of asking here some time back as we are all in that target demographic.
So what do you think Des Moines or Iowa as a whole needs, more cultural opportunies, better youth events, lower taxes, better jobs, is it a something tangible? I'm seriously interested in this answer cause if its something that can be created by god we need to get into it and reap the intellectual and finacial opportunities while raising the quality of the state.
Less serious now hey Wes, do you remember these two.
I've been exploring this mmorpg a bit.
Blowing stuff up is fun and easy.
Link I stole from Aaron Williams 'Nodwick' creator, for those that loved late night PBS.
Well that should make up for months of inactivity...now I go back to hibernation.
Edit:
Found this list of some cultural links.
Also here's the playhouse's site.
