PARADIGM

“Spending” is when you buy your kids a Monopoly Game.
“Investment” is teaching them to put Houses on Boardwalk and Park Place.
“Economics” is watching them learn they can sell the $200 house for $100 so they can ‘Stay in the Game”.

So true! If only every child today, epically in America was taught these things. BTW, Thanks for your post to my blog!

I just read the Peace Plan, and when I got to that line in the post, I straightened up!

I think your Peace Plan is most plausible, and I am in full agreement. I am armed and ready, with a full array of wooden spoons, starched apron tied tight, and arms akimbo...
