Yo Doug:

Even though I spent the first half of my working life in social service earning vitually subsistance, at age 35, when my son was born, I figured I ought to try to figure a way to make enough money to sent the knucklehead to college so I tried capitalism, or free eneterprise or, ahhhh, heck if I know any more fancy terms... But, in spite of myself, I carved out a niche and at least have enough saved to get the boy thru a state college.

I also made one purdy smart real estate investment that should keep me out of the poor house in my old age.

So if that's acpitalism, than I'm guilty. But I don't feel guilty because I've worked 6 days a week, with out vacations for pushing 2 decades now but, hey, the only boss I have is me! Ahhhhhh, and the P-Vine....

p.s. And you'd be shocked (but not awed) to find that I do buy bonds. They're safe even though the return is low. But like I said, they're safe. Ahhhhh, so far?
