Spent a few days with the I got more toys than you do crowd. The measure of success seems to be how many toys you have and where you go when you go UP NORTH ! Cottages on the lake with power boats, ski-doos, four wheelers, etc. seem to be the focus of the people between 25 and 45. Don't know the fancy term for that age group.. except CONSUMERS !

However, while these players are racing around the lakes sucking up natural resources, throwing $20 steaks on the grill, drinking gallons of beer.. there seem to be many of our society still trying to obtain the basic services of a place to sleep and some food to eat. These players are the ones who complain about prices yet consume four times the world average of just about everything.

If I were king..HA !!... the price of gasoline would be $3.00 per gallon, primarily consisting of taxes to support the environment and other social programs. Beer prices would be doubled and taxes on big ass SUV's or other BIG 4 wheel drive trucks would be much higher.
BUT.. I am not king. I am just someone trying to get others to realize thay are not alone on this planet.. and everyone had better start to wake up and pay attention before things go down the toilet.
