Not walking the neighborhood on a rope and pooping on a sidewalk. Indoor cats suffer even more. We've created a mess with animals, it might take a while to change hearts and minds.

Would you consider the following as serfs ?<br /><br />Tony Blair<br />Hank Poulson<br />Gordon Brown<br />Fred Goodwin<br />Alan Greenspan<br /><br />It's just that we weren't educated when we were younger so have missed the boat.<br />I remember buying decent cars and holidays when I started earning and look back wishing I'd saved so that I could avoid staying a serf. Then I realised that you weren't supposed to be educated about such things. Those shiny things I bought were keeping the elite at the top and us at the bottom.<br />If I re run my life I'd be a banker, economist or even a politician ( able to set the agenda and pull your friends and cronies aboard to enjoy the spoils).<br />I have met folk who have run about in clapped out cars while they steadily run down their mortgage debt and bought btl's ( buy to lets) to cover their expenses on council tax, tv tax etc. But we thought they were a bit weird at the time. Not 'enjoying life'. They're certainly enjoying life now anyway.<br />I've spoken to folk still at school and these important things are still not taught. Economics is made boring and uninteresting ( on purpose).<br />Oh and banks still look at you as if you're mad if you want to pay off your mortgage quickly. 'With these low interest rates !' will be the stock reply.RMcGeddonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01665173796157838927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032670063309271922.post-80426422179911516172012-01-15T04:01:24.647-08:002012-01-15T04:01:24.647-08:00RM,

Even when you put to one side the income tax and rates and work out what else they tax you on it is maybe not slavery but certainly serfdom.Gedguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18217515188959770657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032670063309271922.post-52791437701298046502012-01-15T03:13:47.486-08:002012-01-15T03:13:47.486-08:00You're only a slave if you choose to be Ged.
