You loaned a book, "Lies My Teacher Told Me". Still haven't completely read it yet....lool, but I hope that everything is well with you. Email sometime @ Dbrown56@ymail.com. I would love to chat and catch up. I just finally remembered to get back to my blog.(will put up new posts soon) Anyways, I look forward to hearing from you and reading more of your thoughts.<br /><br />Knowledge is experience and wisdom is measured in miles.

See what all those tax cuts bought us?!? See what all that deregulation did for us?!? <br /><br />I volunteer once a month at a local homeless shelter and there are people there that never in a million years thought they'd be there.
