The "Troll" is back and doesn't fully understand why anyone can get so bothered by comments on a "blog".

Little Hawk, I am perturbed that you see the glass as half empty. Society over all has never been better. The opportunities are there for all.

Ake, while I certainly disagree with you on "Hawk's got it right as usual" - his outlook is overall too pessimistic for me. Yes, I have Children plus Grand Children now in College. (In pursuit of that $$$)
They will also garner information that will continue to improve this Society that "Hawk' seems to feel is self-destructing.

Ake, I do agree that "the pursuit of money" is being done at some risk. I don't think it is as severe as others think. Yes, I have worked with the EPA on situations over the past 25 years and find it difficult at times to get things accomplished.

What I read "between the lines" in Mudcat are those that complain, gripe and attack others while saying we are "going to Hell in a handbasket" are in an economic situation that prevents them from even buying the handbasket.
