    How to win the lottery---again and again!

    I'm going to put up two links to this, the first is the NYT, but that might be locked. The second is Readers Digest--the same article in a condensed version.

    I think Mike would find this of great interest---this is a story of a nerd in mob attire
    "A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity, an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty” ---Sir Winston Churchill
    "Political extremism involves two prime ingredients: an excessively simple diagnosis of the world's ills, and a conviction that there are identifiable villains back of it all." ---John W. Gardner

    That guy went through a lot of work to get those lotto wins. Heck, if he would have spent the same effort on legal work he'd probably be wealthy.

    Isnt that the case with most con artists? I have seen a lot of people putting in way more effort to avoid work than the actual job would take them.
    If you don't make someone elses life better, what good is yours?

    Weighty decisions are easy to make, when you aren't burdened by all the necessary information

    The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings. The inherent virtue of communism is the sharing of misery. -Winston Churchill

    If you think the United States is bad, think of another country that wants to put troops on the border to keep illegal aliens out, instead of walling in their citizenry

    Yep, our friend Scooter nails how most of us value work more than those avoiding it.
