people in this country live in poverty.

I find that hard to believe.

I don’t see people starving to death, or at or below 5% body fat.

I don’t see people who can’t afford a cell phone, or those expensive trendy sneakers.

I don’t see people freezing to death because they can’t afford fuel to keep warm, nor because they have no warm clothing,

I do see people who are less fortunate than me.

Some have encountered bad luck, some are just lazy. Some are unable to help themselves because no one ever taught them to do anything besides lay around and wait for a government check.

Many are poor because they, (intentionally or not) choose to be.

But I don’t see people who are living in “Poverty”.

Look at the photos of the depression era citizens in this country. I don’t see fat people, or people wearing new clothing or $150 shoes(or the equivalent price then). I don’t see people living in free apartments, nor driving expensive cars or in any way wasting their meager resources.

I do today, and all these people are supposedly “living in poverty”.

And we gotta take more money from the productive sector of our citizenry to give these fat people more freebies because someone redefined “poverty”?

Thoughts:

Romney looked good, but only because Obama looked so bad.

Romney came prepared, Obama didn’t, not really.

Romney trashed the set statements and talking points Obama had memorized. All of which were crafted to set emotional hooks into people, all (or nearly) were refuted by Romney.

That was the best way to call someone a liar that I have seen in a long time.

It was nice to see someone actually let them define the differences between them. (which aren’t as great as they would have you believe)

Obama, when he isn’t given softball questions, and when the debate moderator isn’t setting the stage for him, isn’t much good at debate when his teleprompter can’t help him.

But Obama’s body language showed he really wasn’t interested in being there, and he looked bored. Romney, on the other hand, looked engaged and eager for the challenge.

While Romney may have won the debate, it wasn’t a resounding victory……and really, 40% of the electorate is gonna vote for whoever the DNC says to (and, to be fair, a similar percentage will vote for the anointed of the RNC with no questions either), so he really only needed to convince enough of the remaining 20 percent anyway… or enough to win the electoral votes.

Others think that it was the delivery

Bad one.

At least I can see out of one eyes, even if its multiple images from that one..

If I had a safety guy, this’d be a god time to go to the range, ’cause if I can shoot like this, then I can shoot anytime/anywhere, under any conditions. But I’d need a monder to keep me from doing someone harm….maybe me.

But…It’d be good training.

I’ll be back when I can think more clearly and can string two words together without using the backspace key more than once or twice.

y’know…

In about a month, we are gonna decide on the path this country will take for the next four years.

Path A is a fairly short slide in to economic ruin, where inflation approaches that of Zimbabwe, your savings are worth less each and every day (soon to be at the point where your savings will have no buying power), where the State runs every aspect of our lives and Government is the larges employer and taxes rise to overwhelming proportions, where less than 50% of the people pay the bills for the rest, where the once great United States slides to third world status.

Path II is a slightly longer slide to the same end, the only difference is a slightly different path…Still with big Government running every aspect of your life, taking an ever larger portion of your livelihood, growing ever larger…., inflation rampant, and we slide (slightly less fast) toward oblivion.

Tough choice, ain’t it?

I figure the slow slide is (marginally) better than the fast one. It gives me more time to turn (soon to be worthless) FRNs to tangible assets. .
