I thought about getting out the army and doing something else. However the way things are NOPE. If do it would be a customs agent or Coast Guard back home in Sarnia.

nothing will affect the economy negatively as much as people thinking the economy is going down the tubes (whatever that means) and not spending money.

talking about recession, creates recession.

they also had no concept of what a molecule was.

pretty much every dog out there down to yorkies want to sniff around before finding a place to take a dump.

doesn't mean there is a good reason behind it, nor does it mean it's the right thing to do.
