My take, exactly. -
The US is the greatest and richest country in the world, and will continue to be this in the foreseeable future. It is very unlikely any country will overtake the US anytime soon, due to us having the rule of law and in the case of Asian nations, their wide cultural differences that are incompatible with greatness. The US stock market S&P 500, on average over the last 100+ years has yielded 8% with dividends reinvested. This is likely to continue A diversified stock portfolio is one of the best investments one can make. This is by far, the best country in the world.

In 1968 the discussions that were scripted and we were required to memorize, had the baptismal challenge midway through the first discussion. Basically by that time only the First Vision had been taught. So for Ballard to say that he doesn’t know how early invitations began is disingenuous. These invitations were scripted.

If you married someone in the expectation that he would make you happy, you are far off the mark. In general, husbands are not entertainment committees. i think you have a lot of growing up to do. or maybe it’s hormones.

I heard that the debates winner was Donald Trump!

Very interesting. But rule eleven makes no sense at all. Simply not possible in our interdependent world. Unless we wish to always be relatively impoverished.

Are any of you guys married? In my experience it’s all about the Benjamins for attractive women. Yes, even my wife. We were on a cruise a year or so ago and at the table we sat at she noticed she was the only one without a Rolex watch. Tag Heuer not good enough. Last Christmas I had to rectify the situation. In fairness, when we married, I had nothing.

Just saw The Longshot. No one else need bother. This is is a Public Service Announcement.

Some of these "bad" movies will survive to be come cult classics. Think Rocky Horror Picture Show. A flop in its day.

I'm a big model train guy and one of my best friends lives in the UK. He wasn't at this show but we both heard about tis on a model train oriented website. Truly senseless.

State of hearts? At some level it’s just business. I dont think God has a lot to do with it.
