Before I leave, I thought I would leave you with this little story.
A little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What is politics?"
Dad says, "Well, son, let me try to explain it this way: I'm the breadwinner of the family, so let's call me Capitalism. Your Mom, she's the administrator of the money, so we'll call her the Government. We're here to take care of your needs, so we'll call you the People.
"We'll consider the nanny as the Working Class," he went on. And your baby brother, we'll call him the Future. Now think about that and see if it makes sense."
So the little boy goes to bed thinking about what dad has said. Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. So the little boy goes to his parents' room and finds his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.
The next morning, the little boy says to his father, "Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now."
The father says, "Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about."
The little boy replies, "Well, while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class, the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in Deep Shit."
Yup yup..... true dat!

nice, at least something good might come out of it! I have never been to England or Fance or anywhere other than the US and Mexico. Once I was driving into Canada but something called 9/11 happened and I could not cross the border! I went to school full time and worked my way through it and then after graduation I have moved around and never really had a vacation or could afford one. My bad in work for non-profits and on documentary's. I need to fix that!
