Money

Money plays a decisive role to individuals, to families and even to countries or nationalities. There exist a Chinese proverb “one cent short may put a hero in an awkward situation” Otherwise, why is everyone, from doorkeepers to presidents, trying to earn as much as possible? Why does every country need Chancellors of the Exchequer, who keep formulating and revising financial laws and regulations? How different it is to be a creditor nation and a debtor nation! The United States is playing the tyrant just because it is wealthy enough. A poor man may cherish lofty aspirations, but will probably be beaten because of his poverty. The Afghanistan may have won a lot of sympathy, but how difficult it would be to live solely on charity. We are living in a material world, and it's really difficult to deny the function of money or wealth. We need money for food, clothes, education, hospital, housing and transportation, etc. There's rarely anything that doesn't need money

Ray,

I am sorry but this is truly unacceptable. I cannot believe that you just copied yourself from your Nov 6 Blog. I DO read each and everyone of your Blogs and most of the comments too. This makes me very sad and a little angry. I hope it doesn't happen again.
