Like 9 years old. And since that time I have always hypothesized on what society would be like in the future. And I see some of these things beginning to happen. One thing I theorized about a lot was a society where everyone was provided by the government at least enough to survive on in room and board. And I also thought there would be a very big chasm between those who would not work and those who would. We are right now a long ways from this, but it's coming.
I think eventually we will see separate societies of people divided by who does want to work. Right now it's hard for those people not working to begin working because they actually lose so much to start at an entry level. But eventually our government is going to wise up and raise taxes enough that all people, working or not, receive the exact same benefit and those willing to work will excel at life.

The poorest working people in this country work, on average, 47 hours a week.
The richest, 0 hours per week.
Work and wealth have no correlation. At all.

I know they don't. Much needs to be fixed. I look at some young mothers on welfare and know they will not try to go to work because they will lose too much. That is wrong.

The Oatmeal Butterscotch paired with a Snickerdoodle
turned my cynical penis into a happy vagina
Then after an Oatmeal Cranberry and Double Chocolate,
it made my new vagina spontaneously sing the Trolololo Song in an elevator.

I read alot as a kid because I didnt get to experience cable until about 7, living in the country sucked. We got like 2 channels over the air, if you had money you could get a project apollo satellite dish in your yard.

Well I ain't first class
But I ain't white trash
I'm wild and a little crazy too
I have seen a lot of things in my life time.
That is why I walk the line I walk.
