Earl's First Law on Learning Stuff:

If you ask enough people, eventually you will find someone who knows.

A Side  Corollary of Earl's First Law on Learning Stuff:

If you complain to enough people, eventually you will come to someone who would prefer to solve your problem rather than to let their superior know that they couldn't.

Every word you read improves every word you write.

More Fun With Clichés:  I Wouldn't Trade It for the World

And you know this because you've actually been offered the world, and you turned it down?  Seriously, you're never going to offered the world for anything.  So saying you wouldn't take what you're never going to get is just silly.  Me?  I'm never marrying the Queen of England.  I don't care how much she begs.

And I don't care what the "it" is that you wouldn't trade the world for.  I'm betting a million in cash would make you think twice.  "I know, sweetheart, we all love Frisky, but that nice man over there has offered us all this money...and... well... Frisky is just a hamster.  But don't worry.  You won't miss him.  You're going, too!"

Here's the thing.  You can't predict the future.  Well... you can.  But it's just a guess, or maybe a hope, not that there's much difference between the two.  Would you be the one to act heroically?  Would you stand up for what is right even it it meant dying?  Would you tell that person no and go home to your family?  Would you trade your child's dog for a new truck?  Your wife for a hunting dog?  We'd all like to think we'd do the right thing at the right time, but until that time comes, until the money's on the table, you simply cannot know.

If we all looked the same
and sounded the same
If we laughed at the same jokes
and understood the same words
in exactly the same way

If we saluted the same flag
with the same passion
If we believed in the same issues
and voted for the same candidates
If we prayed to the same god
in the same way
on the same day of the week

Wearing the same clothes
and driving the same car
and mowing our lawns all just the same

If we ate the same food
drank the same beer
and watched the same shows on TV
night after night after night

What a wonderful time we all would have
