The crushing responsibility of obligations would I sometimes exchange for the lack of obligation even without the chance of earning a few dollars. It is no insult.

For many years, I drove nothing but a used Dodge Colt with a hundred thousand miles. We have some who are currently down on their luck, not permanently unless Obama begins a permanent stratification of society.
ok, archaea, sorry for my rant. On a night when we should be coming together, I blew my top. Apologies. I see your point.

And EPU is right...we all work hard for what we have, so there is no dishonor in seeking to protect it.

Minus 5 points for DDD.

Poor me....I will pay more tax, so I cant buy another pair of martial arts shoes.

meanwhile, friends here on CG are posting on the board that they are poor and truly trying to make ends meet.
And Obama's lies won't help as the economy continues to crash, but hey they were part of history. Sometimes history doesn't turn out so happily.

Excellent point about the stratification of society. The ironic thing is that Obama and the dems want to move the country toward policies that would create this stratification, something that would have made an Obama presidency impossible.

Anyways, everybody lay off Arch. He's out there working his butt off in a small practice and comes to this board to vent. A few unpaid bills or some lost clients and he's SOL. It's not just him either. It's the people that work for him, his remaining clients and his family. There is a lot of stress and he's just blowing some steam.

I don't think even Obama supporters on this board think that he will singlehandedly in 4 years solve our crashing economy. Give them a little credit.

Well said, YO.

To paraphrase Barney Fife, this board is therapetic.
