I'm amused by people who live their lives like tomorrow is promised to them. I'll take that cash now. I'll deal with the problems of 40 years from now 40 years from now.

I'm not surprised people on this board find my attitude about these things naively cavalier. A lot of you are a bunch of micromanaging super-planners. Process the data, make sure all contingencies are planned for, make the sensible decision, be safe, make sure your acorns are there for winter.

Suck my cock. Ever hit the brakes at 80 and realized you were on black ice? Ever had a biopsy come back inconclusive? Ever seen someone young close to you die of something really fucked up and totally unpredictable? Life's terminal and money's easy to come by. I need a healthy amount to live as I like, but so far, I've struggled and managed. I may never have a Rolls, but shit's never going to be bad if you're willing to work and have a brain. Dem , GOP, whig, whatever... won't mean a rats ass to me in the end anyway, so why not take the free dinners now?

I like this post, Sebby, though FWIW my post wasn't directed at you in particular, but at the increasingly indefensibility of Bushian fiscal policy.

Enjoy the dinner.
