“The hole in the soul.” Plenty of people have a need to escape reality. Some people look to drugs or alcohol or sex or gambling. Others find their happiness in a belief that makes them smarter and braver than anyone else.

What can I say? I am a creature of the interwebs. BTW, I saw someone wearing this on a T shirt recently.
Always keep this simple fact in mind.
In 1960, minimum wage was $1.00/hour and the average US home was $11,000.00. $1 million was a vast fortune.
When ronald Reagan took office, ‘middle class’ was still defined as one job supporting a family of four.
By the time George HW Bush had finished his term, middle class was two jobs to keep the family going. And $1 million was what a rich guy paid for a party.
You children will never know the pleasure of slamming down the handset of an old rotary phone.
