Don't tell me where your priorities are. Show me where you spend your money and I'll tell you what they are. - James Fricke"The poverty of our century is unlike that of any other. It is not, as poverty was before, the result of natural scarcity, but of a set of priorities imposed upon the rest of the world by the rich." - John Berger

Don't get me started on football coaches making two or three million dollars a year (Nick Saban makes $45 million in BASE salary over the next 8 years-what does Alabama pay their teachers?). Go beyond that to the freak show society we live in today. If you're weird and crazy enough, you can get a reality show about you. We laugh about Honey Boo Boo out-drawing the Republican National Convention but that's just sick. In the words of Monty Python, One of the corssbeams has gone askew on the treadle!
