Random Thoughts

I recently received these quotes in an email and thought they were worthy of passing along.

"The trouble with socialism is, sooner or later you run out of other people's money" - Margaret Thatcher

"When you subsidize poverty and failure, you get more of both" - James Dale Davidson, National Taxpayers Union

Now if our political representatives would just take heed of these statements and stop spending money we don't have for things we don't need, then our future generations might have a chance to succeed without having to pay for our mistakes.

What's up with all the rain? Must it be feast or famine, drought or flood? How about something in the middle. Ok, would it please just stop raining long enough for the leaves to dry so I can get them up and out of the yard?

"A healthy self-image is a good thing... so is a little humility." That's a Dad original, feel free to quote me while I feign a little humility.

We're a society of rubber-neckers. Every time someone on the public stage trips, we have to stop what we're doing and absorb all the gorey details... do we really need to know every person that Tiger Woods fooled around with?

Do you think the day will come when we'll be taxed for breathing? After all, we do expel co2 and that's a greenhouse gas responsible for melting the polar ice-caps, right? Here's a thought - trees absorb co2... let's figure out how many trees it takes to absorb the amount of co2 expelled by a human... then everytime a human is born, we plant that many trees... problem solved.
