To all of you out there! Hope that you all have a great day. Hopefully I will get out of work early...Or at least on time. Going to have dinner with the in-laws. I have many things to be thankful for. Most importantly that I have my family here with me.
Happy Thanksgiving Paul!
You too. Thinking, I also have a lot to be thankful for!

Wishing everyone a Very Happy Thanksgiving!

"That tyranny has all the vices both of democracy and oligarchy is evident. As of oligarchy so of tyranny, the end is wealth; (for by wealth only can the tyrant maintain either his guard or his luxury). Both mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms." -- Aristotle, Book V, 350 B.C.E
And a song about being thankful for what one has;
"And how we burned in the camps later thinking, what would things have been like, if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain, whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?"
Hope everyone has/had a great day! Now roll away from the table and watch some football. Got to get your exercise in somehow.
