- If you are rich, be generous and gracious. If you are poor, just be gracious. If you are neither rich nor poor, don't act like you are. It's annoying and it makes you sound like an ass.
- You don't know everything. Only Cliff Clavin knows everything and trust me, you don't want to be like Cliff Clavin.
- Save things that you think you might need but remember that if you save everything, you are one of those crazy hoarder people and you should go see a shrink.
- Some people aren't very bright and no amount of education, cajoling, lecturing or talking is going to change that. It's just the way it is. Just because they are stupid doesn't make them bad. Some of the nicest people I know have to be reminded to inhale every once in a while.

Seems that President Obama, with his overwhelming 51% of the popular vote, has decided that he speaks for all Americans whether they agree with him or not.
I hate when people do that.
Someone needs to point out to him that 49% of the population did not agree with him or his policies. That's half the country that didn't want him to have a second term. Someone should point out to him that when half of the people want something and the other half don't, it's best to compromise a little bit. Pissing off half the country, which is something he's already done at least once, is a bad thing and results in long-winded speeches and tirades being offered by "political analysts" on a nightly basis.
No one want's to listen to a bunch of talking heads going off about how wrong the other side is. All this does is fire up the fanatics and we all know what happens when fanatics get fired up.
