I felt this passage was particularly strong: "Watching the film had the effect of zooming 33-year-old Chad back 10 years and putting on the 23-year-old Chad suit, complete with my 23-year-old worldview. It’s an odd thing to have two worldviews you’ve maintained at different times in your life meet face to face, especially since there’s obviously been a lot of water pass under the bridge between the two."<br /><br />This occurs every once in a while, and I've actually learned to enjoy it--it shows we've grown.Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15826151872126283536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456280288853273971.post-27576157865626629302010-01-09T19:33:05.826-06:002010-01-09T19:33:05.826-06:00There is the future.There is the future.General Ursushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499722845628793455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456280288853273971.post-37322021799587855412010-01-09T19:00:44.477-06:002010-01-09T19:00:44.477-06:00I'm really disappointed you didn't post th...I'm really disappointed you didn't post these on facebook.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04423900556295415480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456280288853273971.post-83026891994056477542009-12-03T09:54:41.299-06:002009-12-03T09:54:41.299-06:00Christmas is right around the corner!Christmas is right around the corner!fistfullasteelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03744828960991723739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456280288853273971.post-5743870215838353072009-12-02T19:54:55.909-06:002009-12-02T19:54:55.909-06:00The question is...when are you going to pull the t...The question is...when are you going to pull the trigger and get one for your much needed Raytown home protection?General Ursushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499722845628793455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456280288853273971.post-28149891657770892032009-11-25T21:07:25.695-06:002009-11-25T21:07:25.695-06:00Well lets say the cash for clunkers program may no...Well lets say the cash for clunkers program may not have been the best idea in the world, but the idea is not to help people "get new cars" it's to "stimulate the economy. Which has been shredded by deregulation and the marriage of Wallstreet to Washington by several administrations since Regan.<br /><br />I might add that the prescription drug bill that Bush made law as well as Medicare and Medicaid will be the final straw that breaks all of our backs if a healthcare bill is not passed that includes a "public option" and will regulate the private insurance companies from having so much power in the industry. Anyway do you guys really want a corporation (whos only goal is to serve it's bottom line)telling you what kind of healthcare is best for your family, or telling you what kind of med procedure they'll "allow" you to get?Speedohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05728918018124598147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456280288853273971.post-20466237954198099682009-11-19T23:31:38.512-06:002009-11-19T23:31:38.512-06:00KK BRAND கே கே பிராண்ட்

(I was present for part of the filming that occurred during our kids football practice) It was here that she, and others, expressed some much "hope and change" for better times to come at the hands of a new Obama administration, that troops would be brought home, that the job market would improve, that we would be able to better afford for life's necessities and provide for our families. <br />How ironic that she got her political wish, but is now shipping off to the army.<br />All that said, I have learned this girl's personal story, while I respect what she is now trying to do, she is in this position on her own accord - and I think she would admit to that as well.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04423900556295415480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456280288853273971.post-35028212733582346882009-09-07T09:00:50.043-05:002009-09-07T09:00:50.043-05:00Agreed.

However, what came to mind while reading your post are those single mothers with three kids and no skills or college education. At most she is going to get paid 11 or 12 bucks an hour (after taxes about $625 every two weeks). If her insurance is anything like the one I had while working at Miller Nichols she's going to pay probably half of what you're paying. So if she has on top of that a car payment of $280 a month and day care expenses on top of that, it's going to pretty difficult to make ends meet.General Ursushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499722845628793455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456280288853273971.post-37156771698731747842009-08-08T20:35:37.498-05:002009-08-08T20:35:37.498-05:00Nice job fellas!

For McCandless those connections were not to his family but to the other characters he met on his journey. It is a lesson few 23 year olds are ready to absorb; For most of us it takes an extra decade to figure shit out.
