It is easy to cut taxes. Hard to raise them.

The biggest personal epiphany I've ever had was the realization when I was about 12-years old that I needed to have my testicles removed. It took another 23 years for it to happen, and I've felt more comfortable in my body since. As a result I'm a much happier person.

A close second was the moment I realized that employees in a business mean nothing more to that business than the walls, furniture, or other tools of business. At that point my sense of being loyal to a company, feeling like I'm part of a family, etc. went out the window. Simply one of the most honest and sincere revelations I've ever had. I no longer feel loyal to any company and given the current environment I feel justified in that view. I'm simply there to perform a function and go home. I no longer bust my ass WITHOUT compensation. If they want my time and labor, the will be paying me. I don't work for free.

I've yet to have any other epiphanies like that, but I hope to some day. It was a major life improvement when I followed through on them.

Yep, I also have had both of those, and feel the same way you do, today I am working on the barter system or favor for a favor system, it works wonderful.

How about,

"Fighting gravity is futile, may as well take it easy"

That's what the drunk said when the cop asked him why he was laying in the gutter...

"My neighbors are in the dark. I have light".

What a realization. An epiphatude.

But, y'see my neighborhood just lost power. Why? I do not know. Street lamps, homes, shopping mall off in the distance, so very dark.

Then my natural gas powered generator came on as programmed.

Yeah! Hurray!

I bathe in photons at 10:30PM while "they" know a paleolithic world.

I am so very advanced y'see.

PM interest in kissing my ring.

Even though I live out in the country, and I am set up for power outages, it rarely happens and if it does its back on in seconds. I would have to come to the conclusion that we have a better power grid then you do, poor rural Wisconsin better then the twinkle lights of the Megalopolis of Southern California.

Life is a hard struggle.

Then you die.

The end.

A truism or what? And I figured it out myself.

I turned 65 today, I hurt mostly all over every day, my feet are killing me, I am a bit over weight, (ok I am fat) but you know, this is much better then the alternative.
