   Funny, your like a helpless rabit without a brain.  Life is what you   
   make it.

   Not prior to the date silly, but before sleeping with her without   
   protection and moving in, you bet your sweet jewels I did.  We expressed   
   each others life goals, ambitions, needs and came to some mutual long   
   term objectives.  Lots of communication.  Once proven for a few years,   
   we married and obtained those goals.   
      
   Nice and conservative and assured like, I know.  But low risk, high   
   success rate.  No liberal screwing whatever moves and making a mess of   
   things.

   If you mean current rates of taxation is really tax-debt-slavery, I   
   agree.  But the rules are the same as you and I.  Stop voting for big,   
   fat, inefficient expensive government at the polls.   
      
   But you sound more like a delinquent whiner.

   Hey, anytime things get screwed up, you have to look at why and learn   
   from your mistakes.  It is how every human being learns.   
      
   Just some learn faster than others.

   Now the real war is on Obama-debt, to save America's future.   
   And do it for your kids sake....and ignore the selfish fleabags...
