A young married couple, Paul and Nancy, were neighbors of mine back in the seventies. Nancy was extremely excited because an unexpected opportunity arose for her to attend college.

He confided in me, "I'm afraid if she gets educated, she may not want me anymore." I thought, So rather than allowing Nancy, whom you profess to love, to be all she can be, you would prefer to keep her down.

Of course they’re going to push the crappy healthcare bill through. 3/4 of the funds associated with healthcare will wind up in the hands of lawyers so there’s massive incentive for the lawyers in congress to approve it.
Glad you liked the post.
