   The average person in the street cares about television, sports, sex and   
   money.   
      
   If the average person doesn't care about what goes in his stomach , why   
   would he   
   care about what goes in his mind.

   There are 2 options in life, one is to fight and the other is to get   
   along.   
   A man soon learns to get along with his wife else life is worse than   
   hell.

   If you live beyond your means, you must sell your best cheaply to   
   survive.   
   The oldest professsion in the the world teaches us that.

   Because ask any average Canadian what he cares about and he will tell   
   you.

   If Canadains don't care enough about others to ensure they get on the   
   bus by moving   
   back and making room for others, why do you believe that they care about   
   enough about   
   their surroundings to care about politics.

   Most Canadians can't afford children in the first place.  Only the rich   
   can afford   
   children.  Twenty years ago at the Spanish border, women boarded train   
   at a short stop and   
   shouted "Buy my candies so I can feed by babies."   That statement alone   
   is the foundation   
   of society.
