That was a multi-level marketing scam. That's different from a Ponzi Scheme. In a Ponzi Scheme you are promised amazing returns on an investment. The early "investors" and the well-known, well-placed investors who can bring in more suckers also get wonderful returns on their "investme...

Young Frankenstein - hilarious over and over

Being There - an hilarious "serious" movie.

My god, didn't you get the news? In the new adminsistration of Hope and Change there are no lobbyists. They're banned. They've been driven out of the temple by the Messiah. They are no longer an issue. Now, moving right along.....

Corrupt politician is redundant.

I was reading a book and it opened on the Kona coast of Hawaii. The author talked about the constant rain, the exotic birds, the jungle. I deleted the book from my Kindle. If I'm reading a book that's set in Omaha and I'm reading about palm trees and surfing, it's history. I realize there are people...

I realized later the point was to see how I reacted to frustration but I didn't get frustrated. I pulled out my book, pr...

Sometimes it's a whim. It's the digital equivalent of browsing in the remaindered section in a book store. Two bucks, hey, I'll give it a try. Sometimes, someone on a forum will mention a book, I check and it fits my personal criteria, the price is right, so I download it. My book buying habits now ...

I've attacked no one. "You've attacked the poor, working people, and it seems the only ones you've stuck up for is yourself and the rich (((Do you include yourself with them?))) Don't you find that odd in the least?????? Just a little????" What I find odd is your characterization of what I...

And, I understand you are a true believer and follow your faith slavishly. You're quite willing to be enslaved by multiple masters while distaining someone who lives free and works.

Oh, and I do care. I refuse to support extortion and theft.

I think we're clear now. So long.
