And I'm in the bottom 2% of wealth holders. "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
If you want to really see what a man is made of, take away all his earthly possessions and see if he is still the same man. By that I mean, a man is not what he owns, it is who he is.

You are correct. I work with a kid that is disabled. By that I mean that he ca cannot walk straight, and his hands are messed up. He can only use one hand si since the other he is unable to grasp things. He asked me if I thought he could work "concert security". I told him that even if he could walk straight, and his hands were not messed up, he was not tough enough to do it. Hated to burst his bubble, but the truth is just that. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
Good story, thanks for sharing. I'm afraid I would wind up going to prison if I had that job. What I was talking about though is how man 'measures' another man based on his material worth. And man, whether consciously or subconsciously, measures himself by the value of his net worth and belongings. More stuff = more self actualization on man's value scale. I know a few very wealthy people who would probably wake up and commit suicide if their wealth was suddenly taken from them because THAT is who they are and how they measure themselves. You bring nothing into this world, and you will take nothing out, except the treasures you have stored up in heaven. U.S. Constitution - Article IV, Section 4: NO BORDERS + NO LAWS = NO COUNTRY
Thomas Jefferson said, "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of a all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered...I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies... The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one."

We were working a concert at Cubby Bear, a bar at 1059 W. Addison, across from Cubs Cubs Park. www.cubbybear.com/ Two of us were standing in front of the sound board. Some guy bumped into me, an and both of us almost fell on the sound board. I grabbed him and he said, "Hey, man, I was pushed." I looked and there was this kid pushing his way thru the crowd. I reached out and hit him in the head. This chick went off on me and started hitting me. I pushed her away. Then, the guy I smacked started hitting me in the head. I reached around and put him in a head lock. I started to push him toward the door. He tried to turn around on me and I pushe pushed him again. This happened a few times. Finally I said, "Go ahead and turn around again!" He did, and I gave him a "pancake face". Open palm, right in the kisser. He flew into the doorway, and Archie grabbed him by the hair and winged him out the door. It turned out they were brother and sister. The woosie called his mother. I told her, You can't do a thing about it. It happened on the premises." He was no minor either. You had to be 18 to go in there. They still have concerts there today. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke

No fooling. I'm luck not to be living in a cardboard box under the bridge. I doubt they doubt t doubt they doubt they doubt they would allow that around here, anyway. When I worked for the State of Illinois, some kids built a clubhouse under a bridge on the North Shore Channel. It was in between the girders. I was off the day they found it, so one of the guys drove me over there to have a look. We got there, and went under the bridge. I walked up to it, and heard some voices coming from inside. There was a little hatch door, and I pushed it open. I w I was I w I was wearing my hard hat. There were two girlies up there smoking weed. When I opened the hatch, they said "Who are you?" "I'm the bridge inspector.", I I said. Then I said, "This can't be allowed. It causes undue lateral stress on the I-beams. I'll have to report it." They said, "Oh, don't report it. We'll do anything." Needless to say, I'll let you use your imagination as to what transpired. ROTFLOL "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke

There was a bridge out here that they had a 20 ton weight limit on for a few months. When they finished up grading it to support 40 ton loads again, it was re-opened to all traffic. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
