everybody should buy less, and work less because we're just too crowded and such.   Not disagreeing with him on many points.   But it's a little preachy from a guy who lives . . .

I think I read that it's a myth that kids make you happier and that people with kids just say that to validate their own mistake through mob behavior or whatever. Anyway, it made a lot of sense.

raising a family and leaving a legacy will make you much more wealthy than a beefed up 401k.

are we on an unsustainable path for consumption of renewable and non-renewable resources? Yes, and we have been since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution.

To clarify, I will settle for nothing less than 06cat's level of Rockefeller-style wealth.

Friedman's wife would like to remind you when you do buy things, make sure it's from a store leasing from one of her families shopping malls.



Shopping malls are playgrounds for America's ugly.

Guys my children are the ones that will solve the worlds problems with there good looks and stellar elite smell.  What are your kids going to do?  Oh, that's right you don't have any.  Which is probably a good thing we don't need your loser genetics dropping a duece the super elites gene pool.

That's also about the same time the world's population started increasing exponentially. Again,

It's a way over rated thing to be good at.  There are much better and more productive things for me to worry about, than some spelling and grammer.
