Terrorists......

I am not one of those "Blame America First" people but apparently there are many of them out there this time of year. Every year around now you hear all this hype about how retailers and businesses need a strong shopping season to help boost America out of their recession, and every year sales are well below expectations. Well here this year we are seeing the same story. I am tired of the same old thing every year. If I don't spend that much money around the holidays, it doesn't mean that I think the terrorists are winning and that I am afraid of spending my money, it's just that I am a sad and lonely man who legally can have no contact with my kids. I send money to my ex-wife every month. It's not my fault that instead of her spending that money on our kids she spends it on her drug addiction and for her going to get her online degree in general studies so she can continue to do nothing with her life.
