I feel your “passion” – and I agree.

I too, am from the Detroit area – grew up in Westland went to Oakland University. I lived and worked in the high-tech industry all over the eastern side of the state; I have had many lunches at the eatery Jimmy Hoffa was last seen. – Remember the “dark days” of the Seventies when Lee went to Washington?

The Times, they are different…

But the whining, the “entitlements” and the blame has festered, grown and spread – there are far, far fewer “You, Inc.” people today.

I have often said, “I don’t participate in recessions.” I don’t.

One shouldn’t respond out of fear, but most do – and it isn’t the sheep responding that are as bad as those who use this to manipulate the scared into believing they can do nothing without “a little help from my friends…” i.e., “the government”.

I could go on and that is one of the reasons I have a blog –

One parting observation – I wonder how long it will be until uttering the words, “…You choose where to live, based on your means. You choose what career to pursue based on your interest and ability. You chose your friends. You choose whether you want to go into massive debt or not…” is spun out of elitism and into treason…

Great Post!
