Greed eats away the beauty and living of a better life, and there are few who don't pay for its demands.

Greed and You

Greed has created a subject more important than destructive weather. We now have unwelcome house guests, for the buzzards have come home to roost. You know the ones I speak of; those smiling crafty guys who loaned out all that funny money in exchange for you house and land. In my younger days, they ran small loan holes-in-the-wall, which eventually took your jewelry and your car. They have graduated to be in charge of Billions in the sucker money in this era of credit card and pay-us-when-you-feel-like-it. It pains me to warn young workers, but there ain't no free lunch out there. Bad weather and bad loans are not what's important here. If we put the wrong person in the White House in January, it had better be a man with maturity and military experience. I speak for myself, only, but I've had enough of these young and brash business and political wizards who believe themselves to be the messiah for prosperity. Anyone under 60 has had it too good to realize what I'm speaking about. but pay-back time is here for instant gratification.
