factory water and lottery tickets. That's why you're history.

I expect you're speaking of the royal "you" since I don't watch stupid
television shows and I do travel. I'm completely aware of the rest of
the world and how stupid America looks right now.

Congratulations - you're nearly functional, except for the fact that you
prefer to go down with the ship.

I have two teenage kids and a growing, functional business that I've
been building for 20 years. My property value is increasing and I
live in one of the most picturesque parts of the country where there's
nearly limitless opportunity for outdoor recreation including boating
and skiing.

Am I pleased with the direction of our country? Nope. Have I given
up hope? Nope.
