Indeed, the distance between the haves, & the have nots widen daily.
I did hear of a FL Banker giving a large portion of his earnings back the the people that helped him get there. Maybe a new trend, we can only pray.

DENNIS: HELLO, my FRIEND. THANKS for droppin' by my way. MUCH appreciated, as ALWAYS!

Yes, indeed. A NICE trend! From YOUR lips to GOD's ears! WINK.

I'm just amazed by the SIMPLICITY of the above statement. On a FINANCIAL and PERSONAL security level if none other.

For, HISTORY is FULL of EMPIRES that CRASHED due to TOO FEW having TOO MUCH.

The PEASANTS get RESTLESS at SOME point and all HECK breaks loose. SIGH.

My BEST, my FRIEND .... Brian.

NOTE: I saw said BANKER mentioned above at President Obama's speech to JOINT Congress the other night.

He told how said banker got about $70 MILLION in BONUSES when he left/retired his long time firm.

He took said monies and SHARED it WITH his LONG TIME employees!!!

Everyone who hears this, is ASTOUNDED that this man did such!

"I" am ASTOUNDED NOT that he DID such, but that ANYONE would NOT do such!!!

When asked, WHY he did it, said banker said, "I knew many of these people since I was '17"!

It was the RIGHT thing to do! It was the MORAL thing to do! It was and ALWAYS SHOULD be DONE by ALL!

WHAT has happened to CHARACTER anymore? To FAIRNESS anymore?

HOW can one CLAIM to be a GOOD human being and NOT do such for those who HELPED make him WEALTHY Far beyond his NEEDS???

WAKE UP, HUMANITY!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful sentiment, wrong venue I fear...

So, I pull my coat back and real slow (no reason to start it up yet) I rest my hand by the Smith. Then I give them that cold smile and in the low, soft killing voice I say, "Gentlemen, I'm your worst nightmare. A gunfighter with a rendering station"

DarkRiderDLMC: HELLO & THANKS for your comments. MUCH appreciated. There is NO such thing as a WRONG venue. WINK.

I'm reminded of an old joke/tale:

There was a man with a MULE. It was LOADED with his FALL HARVEST and he HAD to get it into town that day to sell it to provide for his family.

Almost there, said mule SAT DOWN in the road and would NOT move .... The man sweet talked said mule .... He cajoled said mule .... He gave it an apple .... Still, said mule SAT and would NOT move.

Another man approached and asked what was wrong. After hearing the details, this second man picked up a large STICK LIMB laying nearby, walked to the front of said mule, and SMACKED it on top of it's head.

Said mule IMMEDIATELY arose.

Second man said to first man, "FIRST, ya' sometime just gotta' get their ATTENTION!"



I'm just one old, SIMPLETON man TRYIN' to get peep's attentions. WINK.

Nothing venture, nothing gained?

My BEST to you and yours, KIND SOUL.
