We always work for "The Man", but in different conditions. Sometimes "The Man" gives us some space to think that we are free, but that's just like a wild animal that you take from the zoo and put to a park: it's still in captivity, although with more space to "stretch his legs". <br /><br />Just my 2 cents.Alexander The Mediocrenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656667.post-81829298830712850422011-08-05T08:28:16.746-07:002011-08-05T08:28:16.746-07:00Wishing you a happy birthday and many more wonderf...Wishing you a happy birthday and many more wonderful years of God's sustaining grace †amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07418701204573873745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656667.post-54817610079196283902011-08-05T05:52:07.848-07:002011-08-05T05:52:07.848-07:00I'm turning 55 in 6 days..and am in a similar ...I'm turning 55 in 6 days..and am in a similar rumanative frame of mind.

Yeah, she had a fairly big loss when she was young, but milked it for half a century afterwards.Ochlophobist https://www.blogger.com/profile/13751003558600087713noreply@blogger.com
