When I was kicked out of Greece, I took everything I owned in my car. The only thing I left behind was my bank account. I never got that back, but I was free, had options and a future. I certainly did not feel poor. <BR/><BR/>Like anyone who has spent time around the world, it is obvious that if you are fortunate to escape poverty, you never want to go back.

I have been reading for a while, though. The art is fantastic. I'm not big on politics. It just bores me. But, I think the EB is interesting so I come here to get all my information and hear different views on certain things. <BR/><BR/>Honestly, I commented on a provocative picture that was put up a while ago, just to break the ice. Weeks before the election the tension in this room was so thick I could cut it with a knife. No one gave in, though, it was like I wasn't even there. Not until after the election. So, I keep reading and every once in a while I put my two cents in but never, ever about the post at hand. <BR/><BR/>Because that would be no fun.
