    I must tell you. I am appalled. I am appalled at people who blame their economic situation on others. As you can tell, I seem a little “angry.” I have always been a big believer of less government and more self responsibility.

It made me absolutely sick seeing people whine … Continue reading

avatar

While I was having lunch with a friend, he asked me, “What would you do if someone gave you 1 million dollars?”  Jokingly, I said “spend it.”  Of course he knew I was kidding…for the most part.  Since it is VERY unlikely for someone to just hand over a million in cold, hard, United States cash, I still wanted to give him a truthful answer to his question.  Here is what I came up with… … Continue reading
