[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 2073613, member: 24583"] "A MAN OUGHT TO" almost fits into something that should suggest what should be done, right, upstanding, not mashing or taking away, or waiting for someone else to do something. Stand up and do it yourself. It seems the definitions of words I learned and had a mental image of what they represented growing up are now twisted to other meanings. It seems that it is now similar to cussing in public if you confront someone and call them a liar if they just told you something that they know is not true. Call them a thief if they just caused something to be taken from you that was yours and they now claim possession of. Call them dishonest if they have not been fully truthful in their ways of presenting something that reflects the true meaning. These words no longer exist as they had during my formation. In the past you had the option to deal or not deal with individuals who fit into participating in the above categories to protect yourself. In the past, most of my financial transactions were with individuals, and I paid a few taxes. Now, because of government involvement in most everything I touch involves taxes or government regulations. Most of my transactions are priced on the involvement of the government regulations of the item I am dealing with, or the twisting of the mind of the individual I am dealing with that has no qualms of misleading, lying, or anything else they can do to steal money from me. "Doing what you ought to do" now has a new meaning, doing as little as you can get by with while taking as much as you can from someone else. That ought to be a right, right? [/QUOTE]
