Entrepreneurial............and thoughts on an old Empire

From '91-'03, I worked part time. Yes, it's a long time to work part time, but I WAS ALSO in school.  Most of my friends worked full time and not going to school and were getting double or a little over me in terms of salary. Needless to say I had more in my bank account then they did, AND even asked me to borrow money almost on a monthly basis.  These people lived in their parents house while I lived on my own. I charged them interest of course because money transaction is beyond friendship, it's business.   Why not just take out a loan from your bank. But you see, I was charging them an arm and a leg for MY loan in interest. I drafted my own IOU and everything(working at a library has its perks, :) )...of which the terms were pretty much in the same language as a professional loan or even worse because I knew their credit must have been shot if they want to borrow money from me. Point blank: some people know how to make money, others know how to lose it. You are either one or the other, the in-between folks just work.


If other countries are attacking the U.S..........it's because we AS A NATION, not just as a certain race......have tortured and exploited them. Get real......are you serious.....you think that wasn't going to backfire on you sooner or later.  You have to be living on Mars to not be aware.  As of late I heard they have taken "history" as a class out of the classrooms so I wouldn't surprised that we NO LONGER know our own history as Americans. We can all cry about other terrorists that came before americans, but we have dig deep into books because they do NOT teach that in our schools unless you go into the library and read about the Roman Empire or the Ottoman Empire.  Stop thinking that the U.S. reign is going to last.  It is just the American Age for the moment, in about a 100 years or so, if we keep it up, Mexico will be here.  They are just as aggressive as most Hispanics/ latinos that you've ever encountered(must be that Indigenous and Spaniard blood in us that will not let us budge, :)
