Dibs – haaaaa – what do you think it is?
Legion’s Simple Plan To Fix The Economy:
1. Stop all foreign aid temporarily.
2. Withdraw all troops abroad temporarily.
3. Concentrate on the homefront.
4. Provide all individuals the basic necessities for now.
5. Move all resources towards resource exploration and aquisition with minimal environmental impact. Mine for 1million tons of Gold to back the US dollar. Put a couple of new refineries on line and use US Oil resources to keep our economy going.
6. Start the reactors, Nuclear energy program using Fast Sodium reactor technology which uses nuclear waste as fuel.
Throw in Solar, Wind, Tidal and Geothermic for good measure.
7. Cease and desist on burning our corn for energy. Use it to feed Americans instead.
8. Consider new drug policy here and abroad.
9. Reopen shop with new foreign policy of responsible support of democracy without dependence on foreign oil resources to cloud the issue.

Wendy – what color glitter are you choosing for your tiara?
“i give it 10 years before some other bubble is created and they do it ALL over again.”
It happens roughly every 10 years. The S&L Crisis of 1989. The Enron scandals of 2001. The Financial Crisis of 2008.
gemini. what’s your take on prostitutes and hustlers?
I agree 100% with DH’s comment at 3:58 – am just wondering what will be the next bubble!
Here’s my take on strip clubs(for men) -if you want to go with your friends as an outing or around an event(bday/bachelor) that’s totally fine – but if you are going there like once a week – that’s sorta pathetic
The world of fireman has changed a lot M4L. There are simply less fires these days. They used to do a LOT of chilling between “runs”. But wisely, fireman have been trained as first responders and are trained medically as well to respond on 911 calls. Regarding cops, though crime has gone down a lot, cops put their lives on the line everyday. We have a well armed criminal population.

Donatella, I have less love for cops and most of the time, their lives aint on the line. Plus they can chill. Not so with firemen.
Every fire call isn’t a life threatening situation. What about false alarms? Car crashes? Very minor fires?
I think that firefighters and cops have pretty much equal chance of death on the job.
