    Great Dance songs from the 80s-90s

    you said dance songs from the 80's. Most of the songs listed I would consider pop or new wave. No biggie. I'd say most anything of New Order's Substance, Brotherhood, Technique. that Ministry song is a classic obviously. I also like a song called "Pure Energy" by Information Society...

    Indiana Traders ?

    I gotta say, as a Chicagoan, every time I look at the price of real estate in South Bend, Bloomington or other areas, I feel the urge to move down there. It's clear Indiana has avoided much of the bubble and the cost of living is still very reasonable.

    Quadriga Superfund - Managed Futures

    I find it somewhat interesting, perhaps even troubling, that no one has mentioned the fact that The Schindler Fund has experienced the large drawdowns as the assets under management increased rapidly. The track record that many reference as a rationalization for sticking with this fund is...

    how has chitown become so corrupt?

    yeah, it is out of hand but since they refuse to cut spending for the most part, they have figured out a bunch of "stealth taxes". BTW, is there a more efficient operation in this country than the meter maid and her electronic ticket dispenser?
