born to be free

Hello everyone, I am constantly pondering on things such as the following.

"If I had no enemies, would I truely understand the real value of a friend?"

"If a video camera followed me all day long, would others watching me see what I say I am, or something far different?"

"Back in the roaring 20's when life was grand, a dollars purchasing power compared to todays was nearly 10 times greater. So if I make $20.00 an hour today, I would have to work 91 hours a day to equal the purchasing power of a days labor in the roaring 20's."

Wow! I guess if the truth hurts, we can all just lie to ourselves about how bad the economy really is. We can all just continue to make-believe that the "Phantom Recovery" is real.
