  • I saw this in the news today...

    Madoff admits $50bn fraud scheme


    and it reminded me of something i saw on the news a few weeks ago...  some news channel was interviewing some celebrities and really high profile rich people from florida... who got seriously ripped off by this guy.

    one of the women said...

    "what this guy has done to us... is really almost worse than murder..."

    that statement to me was such a clear picture to me of how much our country idolizes wealth.

    not that it's not a huge, terrible thing that this man has done to many..

    but really... comparing it to killing you?? 

    even with all the money that these people have lost... (and for many it was their entire life savings)... what about the incredibly poor people all around the globe?  financially... i would guess they are still better off..
     

    (ps.  i realize i am obsessed with using these...  as my regular form of punctuation. )

    Re: eye twitch.  I have that happen to me.  Thought it was serious enough to talk to my neurologist about.  He told me it's when I'm under a lot of stress.  It's a wonder we all weren't twitching last week, huh?
