If I were not so "Aged", I know that I would migrate to some distant Working Man's Paradise where I could better realize the value of my efforts unhindered by the mendacious manipulations of the Elite Ruling Class of Plundering Bankers and Greedy Goons.

Just today, paying my Dish Network bill of $127.22, I was reminded of the constant economic Blood-Letting inflicted upon those of us rotting at the bottom of the Economic ladder.

I now understand why so many Nortenos along the border are climbing the fences to head South.

Along with those on the Gulf who build rickety boats to risk Life and Limb paddling to the Caribbean peoples' paradise of Cuba.

IF only I'd known when I was younger that I was living under a nightmare of servile stupor.

Stupid ME. I thought I had it pretty good.

But, now (that it's too late) I KNOW.

Though I still don't know all that Gnu knows.

So, it seems like those languishing in TJ are better off for not being here, aren't they ?

Seriously, Though, On the Bright side (Glass Half-full, as they say), those guys who spent years in El Norte made more than they would have back home, so they should count their Blessings, Don't Worry, Be Happy and Look to the Sunny Side of Life.


Yep, and since the guy was working for 15 years at a good paying job, he probably had a savings account and money stashed for when times got bad. He was all set to ride out the bad times whenever they happened.

It's the SENSIBLE thing to do.
