Life is absolutely fine... as Brad Pitt once told Maher (in regards to Socialism) "were' fine, we're great".

It's perfectly good up here, no complaints. I was born and raised in this country and I love it for what it has to offer us.
Sure we pay taxes, however, I can't tell you how many times I needed an emergency visit at the hospital and I was worried about how I would pay for it.

I just wish the same for you guys and gals down south of the border.

Quite a few of my friends actually own guns and they're EXTREMELY responsible with them - trigger locks, bag/case locks and into their safes they go.

I hope things work out and Obama and company get things done in a moderate way and not a gun toting "me, me, me (1st)" way.

Come on up...the weather is fine too. lol
