I disagree with you regarding your comment no one is born to be bad. I believe we all must be educated to be good. Children from the moment they walk begin experiencing impulses to be troublesome followed by impulses to do mean and dispirited things in their alleged innocence. Such activities for instance show ALL CHILDREN throwing toys into the faces of playmates, or slapping and hitting techniques. These activities include preschoolers and Kinder Cares doing the same things. The results from teachers studies show that when children from all walks of life arrive at school for the initial appearance classmates have been known to teasing and name calling causing some students to disassociate from any desire to return to school the following day. Children do not learn this from their parents. Teacher pre-studies disclose that it becomes the teacher/student educational experience to instruct against mean behavior and patterns of differing behavior that accompany it, once spotted in a student. I have read some studies but not enough of them to be an expert, such as a psychologist or sociologist. Listening. The subject bears discussion.

Thought you folks might be interested in the loss or gain of jobs under W and then under Obama. For those of you who want to push the blame for the recession onto Obama, this will be hard to swallow, though true. This is back a few years, but certainly reflects the t***sition.

I have been absent. I have been putting in 14, 16, 18 hour days getting my new business going. My former employer has dropped any further action against me. and I have dropped my counter suit against them as promised. Moving on.
I took $275,000 in combined loans with my house, my land, my animals, my vehicles, even a lot of equity in my other businesses, most of everything I have to start my this business. Failure is not an option.
On the good though, all monies are now available so I am not struggling any more to make payroll and such. I have a nice office space, I am now at 13 employees, gaining an average of at least one new client per week. I am in the black for the first time since jumping in.
The bad though, my oldest existing LLC expires in May of next year and I am not eligible to license another one until then unless I pay a $25,000 fee to pay for the federal licensing commissions cost of canceling and establishing a new LLC under my name. (you are limited as to how many LLC licenses you can hold, I have to expire one, or pay the penalty in order to apply for another, this is not the governments fault, I have multiple businesses so that is just how it is).
This is going to be my legacy, what I leave to my children. I am going to shut down every thing else, and really go legit, or I am going to lose everything. Cross your fingers for me please.

For those who may think I am a fool, and putting my family at risk, I have been investing in gold since 1998, I also have a very good life insurance policy, the VA pays all of my burial costs, full family benefits, hell I am worth more dead than I am alive! My daughters college fund sits at roughly $170,000. And it is liquid, as is the gold, and I have $35,000 equity in my life insurance policy that is also liquid. These are what I consider untouchables though, they are for my family, not me.

Any way, I am seriously short on time in my life right now, so I will be here when I can.

I've seen this developing for years. When One writes a Doctoral thesis, one cannot say " the previous view point is correct ". One must come up with something new. So, over the course of several 1000 new PhD's, "expertise" on child psychology and related fields, has eroded the older common sense knowledge. The " tried and true " has been replaced with the " new and unproven ".
Parents have been successfully raising children for 1000's of years. Our smarter more informed educators have decided that our forebears were i***ts. Why? For the reasons I've outlined above. Once one has earned one's PhD, one must publish papers and/or write books. These books must reinforce one's " thesis premise ". These books go on to become text books for a newer generation of smarter more informed educators. Once an error is introduced it proliferates through education.
