But we can afford to feed our children and then some. I refuse to feel guilty because our country's political climate and work ethic for the past 200 years have afforded me the tools to work hard, feed my children, and by a speed boat for recreation.

Maybe China should have observed this saying before they launched themselves into a decades of communism.

Will Smith- Pursuit of Happiness.

Quote:
In addition to such a strong father-son relationship, The Pursuit of Happyness also presents the American Dream as an achievable reality. It begins when Chris asks a Dean Witter broker (who he sees getting out of a bright-red Ferrari) what's needed to do the job. The answer he gets back is this: "You've got to be good with numbers and good with people." Chris believes he has those skills and aggressively pursues executives at Dean Witter once he discovers internships are available.

The Pursuit of Happyness
Yeah, I really disliked that movie. . . and the whole messge that it is the end, not the means, that matters! Oh Well. . . I think that may be the REAL DIVIDE between the right and the left (politically) in the U.S.

Treason if someone does not believe that climate change is the problem people see it? In other words to now try people for treason if they do not agree with climate change?

In other words that is indirectly trying to suppress opinions.

You have a great day.

The evedence is clear. The Civil War caused global warming. Either that or we are coming out of the Mini Ice Age. You pick which ever you like, but keep in mind it's getting cold, very, very cold.

I knows it' ot but you don't think little kids forced to make your shirts is slavery????

Also, in the last few years, the rate of children kidnapped has increased rapidly. It is believed that the children kidnapped are sold off to factories to work.
