20 million is a lot of money no matter how many years.


As for me being self centered, these are my children and family that I am fighting for, I am supposed to be Self Centered for them. It is my duty and obligation to care and support them. They are supposed to come first in my eyes. I am also trying to keep us off of welfare and do what is right for them. Secondly, I make too much money by the State standard to qualify for Assistance. So if I cannot receive money there will be nothing to pay back. I also tend to think that the 22yrs I served in the Military qualifies as a positive contribution to our society and do not owe a debt. So how am I going to pay you back!!!

I also did correct myself by stating that my example was a bad one and wrong. Some how it was not good enough for you and I guess owning up to mistakes is of no consequences to you.

"You evidently don't know much about statistics, about human dynamics of moving and taking chances and making bets on the best appearing options"

"After all, we all have to listen to depressed and cynical people like you"

All quotes from you that have zero basis in fact, you do not know me one bit. You have no information on my back round, where I come from or have gone thru in my life, but you had no problem assigning me these traits and then following them up with this quote.

"and we ought try to do better in making a difference than you folks ever tried to do in any attempt to provide ALL the facts and links to whatever you are complaining about. "

You talk about facts, but try to insult me and belittle me based on what you think I am, without one shred of FACT.
