Great quote Chris! I do love the stuff that my kids say! Obviously Victoria and my daughter Samantha need to meet someday.

Hope all is going ok for you in the recovery from the house fire.

"I spent thirty-three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country's most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle-man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism."

General Smedley D. Butler USMC.
