... you wrote that in a rather offhanded manner, and yet, financial well-being is right up there as dogs go, at #5;
#4 is passion for doing, interest in watch & brief, satisfying curiosity, and such;
#3 is friendships and such;
#2 is family and all that; and
#1 is health, without which one can lose all else.
as to second guessing, you may be right, that it is the essence of mob rule democracy, and that which also entails the ignorant unwashed selecting the smiley faced forked tongue double speaker with no other skills to rule over them and to shaft them in the harshest ways, and then second guessing as to what went wrong when the promised land arrives not at all.
are you having a good time yet?
obama may well be a one term wastrel, but what comes next can well be far worse, and by my read, will more than likely be, unless you get palin, in which case then perhaps just a slight degradation from obama, but really too close to call ;0)
and, a reminder, that my read has been so far so good.
speaking of which, a reminder, that it is not too late to engage with gold :0) |
