eQuotes
“I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. ... corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed.”

 So I have been without a laptop for about a week. I have it back now and am writing this article from it! But its probably not fixed . . I don't know that for sure, but probably will know by the time I get to the end of this blog post. The guy who was fixing it? Well, it seems he killed himself this weekend. First, I got an email at work from a friend telling me that I probably ought to call because he had heard it . . . I called, and the guy on the other end said, he had just left me a message. He asked if there was any way that I could drop by and pick up my computer, as the guy who owned the place had passed away this weekend . . . You know, I have needed my laptop several times over the past few days . . I have wanted it just as much . . . But to put things in perspective, I bet I will never need my laptop as bad as a little girl will need her daddy who is no longer on this earth! Or a mother who is proud of her son . . . . I guess what amazed me even more was when I tried to convey these sentiments to the guys who handed me my laptop, they said, "you are one of the few who have been this understanding" . . In fact, one guy went so far as to tell me there had been many "assholes" through the door today. And he thanked me for being so kind and understanding . . . . . As much as I depend upon my laptop and my Treo, the people in my life . . . My family for example, are much more important than a portable computer! Maybe a lesson or two needed to be learned from such a tragedy? Maybe I am trying to find some positive in such a negative . Or maybe I just need to realize the things that I sometimes value as being important aren't really all that important . . . .
