their own houses. I'm sure I'll be hearing from some of you that being rich is better than being poor, but for some of us having the freedom to go
where you want when you want is very important. I've always felt even less restricted in Baja, one of the reasons for coming here all these years.

And don't forget, they have to drive those awful bullet-proof Audi A-8's all the way to their custom tailors. Just breaks your heart.

A man was riding in the back of his limousine when he saw a man eating grass by the roadside. He ordered his driver to stop and he got out to
investigate.
“Why are you eating grass?” he asked the man.
“I don't have any money for food,” the poor man replied.
“Oh, please come to my house!”
“But sir, I have a wife and four children…”
“Bring them along!” the rich man said.
They all climbed into the limo. Once underway, the poor fellow said, “Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us in.”
The rich man replied, “No, you don't understand. The grass at my house is over three feet tall!”
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Since Mister is now a Mexican, perhaps a name change to Señor is in order.

He isn't "NOW" a Mexican, he's been a Mexican since birth  but, he will be Senor
when he reaches full maturity
goat, is your name really goat??
silly ~ it's a nickname. I have no idea where it came from, but I do know that bobo in Spanish means foolish, which I have translated loosely as silly
and it fits her. Although since Mister has come along, she goes more by Sissy.

I don't know. I don't have enough enlightenment to pass around. You have added to my enlightenment though, with your possibilities. Thank you. That
was very Zen of you.
But seriously, the "sleeper" was intended to apply to all the political parties, not just Tea Baggers. I just didn't construct that sentence very
well.
Anyway, I think "Dennis hearts Sweetie" is much more interesting.

Yup! No quotes were used. Kinda confusing. If Enlightenment=Ejicashun, there is a lot more navel contemplation yet warranted. Don't waste your time on that, Dennis. You've got a more important ping
pong game goin' on.

As I read the original article in the LA Times this AM, I was reminded of a quote from US Supreme Court Justice and overall legal scolar Louis
Brandeis.
And, it is quite apparent that those in the US should take clear note:
"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both."
Louis D. Brandeis
