no different than the stock market.....and our 401k's, 'guaranteed pensions'(via taxpayers) etc.......

however, there are NO GUARANTEES.....we should not have to pick up the tab on 'guaranteed' pensions,,,,,who's freakin' brilliant idea was that???

WHO ARE THE ARBITORS/LEGISLATORS/VOTE PURCHASERS,,,,,,AND LEECHES ON OUR BACKS----------GET OFF.......

I will give/invest when/where I see fit.....NNTP.......ALL THE WAY.......


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.


STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
