    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    i think jarod is on the verge of becoming a conservative.

    According to apple; if you didn't WORK FOR IT, then you have no right to it and should give it to someone else.

    I worked for it. I would not say that inheriting money means you have no right to it, but if the government is going to tax something...

    Id rather them tax unearned money over money that someone worked hard to get for themselves.

Stop pretending that we're going gangbusters here when real unemployment is at least at 18%. Americans aren't that stupid.
    Topper is like a global warmer. He'll believe whatever gets him through the day.

    Anyone with half a brain knows that small business is going to go into hibernation until we see what the democrats just stole from us. None of us knows what the new bill is going to cost us and as a result, you can forget about us hiring anyone unless we've got work coming or orders to fill.

    We don't at this point. It's laughable how giddy the libtards are over this bill. It's going to prevent the recovery we so desperately need.

    But hey, you gotta strike while the pan is hot. I don't blame the dems for doing what they did, but I don't see it helping the economic situation any time soon.

    I'd love to hear topper explain the logical steps that the bill will lead the nation through on its way to aiding in the recovery.

    Let's hear it, Mr. internet millionaire

    Imagine if they try to pass Cap and Trade next... We absolutely cannot afford these policies, they are crippling.

    No you didn't work for it.
    You only gained; because of you had others toiling for you.
    Well, according to apple that is.
