I have had a distaste for Sarah ever since she resigned as governor of Alaska because of improprieties that were just starting to surface. She avoided facing any charges.

But I had suspicions that her ambitions far outreached her
desire to finish her term and I was right.

She has become wealthy and wealthier off of the things that she has said and done therefore I trust her sincerity.
A million bucks a throw for the show appears excessive but then Katelaw I have always objected to the low salaries those who educate our children receive and the sums paid to
athletes,celebrities ... and other inequities in what really should Count in our society. I believe that this quest for money has corrupted us as a society in terms of what we value.

AND believe me I am a sports fan. But the huge sums of money paid to athletes in every sport I never understood.

I guess my respect goes to those like Doctors Without Walls who help the sick without seeking large sums to do it.

AND there are so many others who give of their energies to better our world and do things that are constructive to
society. They are the unsung heroes to me.

Sarah is just a plain old Capitalist. Right ? And what do we live in. A Capitalist society. Guess I better grow up and accept that. Money rules. Money talks. Money gets guilty persons off from crimes. Money even gets the best health care.
My sister's wealthy ex. got a first row seat into
the Mayo Clinic who has a wait list. He got right in.

Maybe subconsciously I am envious that all those huge sums of money were out of reach for me. But I doubt it looking back over my life. I did many many many things for good will
and belief's that were basic to making the world a better place for all of us which is my political stand and why I hate labels like socialist etc. as if anything improves a human beings condition in this world and makes life better for them them I am for that. END OF RANT.

OPPS addendum. Read what I posted today about salaries paid to FOX radio and TV hosts.. AND their MOTIVES behind what they say and do.
