"Selfish of you, you know"? Don't talk like a moron. Some of the Leftism in the air must have got to your brain. You did with YOUR money what you believe will benefit your family and your pocket.
The selfish part is that I like being right- even when a whole lot of others are going to be hurting. My Liberal neighbors all were asking about the solar ( in town) that I put in, asking how much ($11K asfter you subsidized the cost of the rest, thank you ), and how long the payoff would be ( 10 years assuming 6% annual rate increases) , and how great it was that I was saving the planet. ( Oh no. This isn't about saving the planet. Its is about ensuring that my family has power. Obama promised to bankrupt the coal industry, and I believed him.) Luckily that neighbor has decided to see if Costa Rica is right for him - took his kids 10, 8 and 5 out of school and went for 6 months. Hopefully he never comes back , god damn socialist fascist.
Everybody likes being right when they're right; anybody else who's going to be hurting, well, it's on them.
I hope your neighbor stays away as well. I wish all like him would go, take their downloads with them and never come back. It will save us the trouble of dealing with them.
Today has not been a good day; my infuriation level at the destruction of my country and the lives of my countrymen and their children -- this thread is only one item -- has pegged, pfffft, broken the meter. These days, when I cry, it's out of rage and helpless frustration, not sadness.
