Indeed.

Ive been fasinated by the numbers of business's that are still
operational and seem hardly touched by the "crisis".

Only 1 in 5 has been negatively harmed by the economy. That means so
far...everyone else is actually doing ok.

Times may indeed get rough. Or not. Shrug. Im planning on them getting
rough and am digging in a smidge deeper. But then..I live in the
country...and only work at this job in the city.

before it is made straight; a metal blade must be put to the whetstone
before it becomes sharp. Since the nature of people is bad, to become corrected
they must be taught by teachers and to be orderly they must acquire ritual
and moral principles."
