I'm in it for the Corn

I think I will spite the world around me and be happy.

I think I will shrug off the power bill and mortgage payment and water heater repair bill and vet bill and be happy.

I will whistle through 50-hour weeks and fast food lunches and hours hunched at my laptop at the kitchen table late at night and be happy.

I will do this because perhaps prosperity follows those who need it least for their own happiness.

Besides, I have all my teeth.

There's No Place Like Home

One more utterance of the supposed democracy in which we live and I will barf.

The United States of America is a constitutional republic. Look for the word democracy in the Declaration of Independence. Look for the word democracy in the Constitution of the United States.

"A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine."

-Thomas Jefferson
