A 'recession' is when the capitalists take back what they paid their laborers... A 'depression' is when they do it in anger... ;)

Somebody told me how frightening it was how much topsoil we are losing each year, but I told that story around the campfire and nobody got scared.

"If I were you I wouldn't do that"

Of course you would. If you were me then you would do exactly as I do.
What you really mean is...

"If you were I you wouldn't do that"

In the real world, people don't like to listen, and they tend to forget about everything...

In the virtual world, people never miss a typo, and they tend to never forget anything... ;)

“Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes & dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, 'It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than to be selfish and worry about my liver."

Until you make peace with who you are, you'll never be content with what you have.

These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." - Thomas Paine

"Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men, will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone"

Capitalism is organised crime, and we are all its victims... ;)

(BTW - I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome the 'middle class' into the ranks of the 'lower class'. Enjoy your stay!)

"Mind's just a reflex organ. Reacts to everything. Fills your head with a million, random thoughts a day. None of those thoughts reveal anything more about you, than a freckle does at the end of your nose."

I wanted no part of politics. And I wasn't in Berlin to compete against any one athlete. The purpose of the Olympics, anyway, was to do your best. As I'd learned long ago from Charles Riley, the only victory that counts is the one over yourself." - Jesse Owens

Just because someone has something I want, doesn't mean that I'm willing to do what they did to get it... ;)
