At this moment, you're not doing anything to discount that notion.

Well turn your question around the other way: "What does this have to do with metal detecting and TH'ing ?". It certainly sounded political to me.

I would not call being uninformed stupid. Some people live sheltered lives and tend to get a rude awakening at the most inconvenient times. I can tell you this because i am one of them.

If a poor man bounces some checks to feed their family, depending on the total value, he will get 11 months and 29 days in the local jail, having to deal with Bubba, yet a rich man selling junk bonds to senior citizens, wiping out their retirement savings gets a huge fine and a few years in a country club jail. He gets to walk out a rich man and then get's hired by Ted Turner as a consultant.

Back in the day I was young I was taught to fess up to what I may have done wrong, while rich kids are taught to deny everything and wait for their lawyer to represent them and put the police on trial. Just my 2 cents, there is no single "GOLDEN RULE" it all depends who you are and how you were raised an how much money you have to spend on your defense. Remember O. J. ?

Do the haves have detectors? If not their have nots.

Probably human nature related.

I guess I'm one of the "haves".........
I have my faith, a wonderful wife and family, friends, my health, moral and ethical character, the ability to earn a living, the time to enjoy my hobbies..........
As for financial wealth...........I have NOT!!

well said chizman

On the other hand - take a look at your birth certificate. No where does it say: "Give this one an easy pass through life".

At some point someone had to claw their way up whether it was current generation or some of the past ones.

Good post Charlie. Some might consider various people to be the "haves". But yes: They knocked themselves silly with hard work to get there . Hence they CERTAINLY DO INDEED DESERVE to be "haves". Not all were born with it.

Ooops, I guess I just went political. With a post that has nothing to do with md'ing. Oh well .

AMEN!

 

[RustyGold]

Was it ethical gain while they clawed their way to the top? I’m a haves. I’m still here in the garden with a loving family.
Thank God.

I should have stopped reading after the original post but I didn't and have wasted a bit of time that I didn't really have to waste.
