Thank You for your words of encouragement.
The "bread & circus" is out of control, while the masses eat it up and beg for more.
I think I have to give credit to a teacher from my youth, who once told me, "You can do and be anything you want in life. All you have to do is work hard, keep your nose clean, and pay your taxes.....". Thankfully he did not leave out the "pay taxes" part, for without it I most likely would have believed him and would not have started questioning everything.
