44. Kinda like Robin Hood for the new millennium?
 I love the idea of sticking it to the banks.

45. Call me old fashioned (even though I'm not old enough to be old fashioned), I actually 
 only buy things that I can pay for.

Idiots.  Robin Hood did NOT steal from the rich (or perceived rich).  Robin Hood stole from the GOVERNMENT.  Get it right you dumb asses.

You're right, and thank you for pointing that out.

It's just a pet peeve of mine.  Those wanting to justify taking something from someone else seem to use that analogy a lot and it bothers me.

You're welcome, btw.

Millions of you end up like Matt Foley, living in a van, down by the river?

And NO, I would not stop to help you.  People who CHOOSE to live like that garner no sympathy from me.

I just acquired for free several rolls of 12 foot wide heavy duty rubberized experimental roofing material. I'm thinking of building tents to rent out to the new homeless. Wonder what I should charge for a 12x12 tent with a communal PORTA-POTTY? .....or better yet, what kind of gummint loan you reckon people could get on them? ....the stuff is guaranteed for 20 years.
