Let me pose this question, how many people on here give back to their communities, have you donated some sweat equity, give some money to a charity, even said a kind word to a homeless guy/ gal on the street.My personal opinion is that these political parties are set up to keep people under control and thats it.... everyone was so happy and filled with hope for obama now he's going to be the death of our america; there is no our america its is and always will be changing; john f. kennedy faced hell to get elected because he was catholic and it was though he was going to be taking orders from the pope, now he's looked back on with rose tinted glasses.People fight so hard against education and understanding the world outside of their little box; i've seen programs where people would shout burn the books but leave our bible alone; people still thinks the sun revolves around the earth, or don't know where the sun goes at night. . . its not about democrats or republicans i'm sure most of you guys know that those parties basically flipped during the civil rights era; i often hear people say were the party of abraham lincoln really what does that mean, in todays world it means nothing!

Another downside of that housing bubble that so many hailed to be good for this country, while some of us waited for the other shoe to drop!

Ashan, I was in your shoes.

Put the shoe on the other foot.

I would kill for something that good...and in your shoes, I absolutely would have held the duplex.

I was in your shoes before and I know how tough it can be.

I verbally warned her when she moved in to make sure she ran the A/C periodically to keep it dry, but she hasn't, and recently she found mold on a lot of her shoes and clothing. 

Sometimes when I feel I want to buy a new hat or a new pair of shoes and I alk out our front yard gate and going down the street to get to the market which is about a 15 minute walk from our house, a neighbor pops out to greet me and tells me they cannot afford to buy their kid a new schools uniform this year, not problem I pull out my money and tell them,"here go buy your kid a new school uniform" .

In my case everything turned out roses, but it took 20 years!
