FITTING IN

If any group makes you feel unwelcome,do not condescend yourself and try to fit in.To fit in you have to be courteous and kind when others are not.To try to be part of the group when your presence is not even acknowledged-that is stupidity.The truth is-you dont need to please these Jackasses for acceptance or to affirm your worth and dignity.If you try,they will leave you mentally and emotionally exhausted.Turn and walk before they ruffle your feathers.There will always be other doors open.May you have the courage and move on.

THE US ECONOMY

Dr.Marc Faber,the investment guru,concluded his monthly bulletin(Jan 2009)with the following comments.Dr.Marc Faber tells it how it is "The Federal Government is sending each of us a $600 rebate.If we spend that money at Wal-Mart,the money goes to China.If we spend it on gasoline it goes to the Arabs.If we buy a computer,it will go to India.If we purchase fruits and vegetables it will go to Mexico,Honduras and Guatemala.If we purchase a good car,it will go to Germany and Japan.If we purchase useless crap,it will go to Taiwan.In short,none of it will help the American economy.The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it on prostitutes and beer,since these are the only products still produced in the US.I've been doing my part.Dr.Marc Faber.
