    i was thinking that a winning lottery ticket is the new american dream.

    what do you think?

    are you unemployed, underemployed, are in fiscal paradise?

    i see people in lines everyone, indeed, occasionally myself. they are standing in lines waiting for a ticket for "a million dollars"

    but who wins the lotto?

    and what do they do with the money?

    please comment, i think this is a worthy topic

    New? Hell, they've been around since Colonial days!

    Matter of fact, cannon for use in the Revolutionary War
    were purchased with the proceeds of lotteries!

    Now do you really want to know where the lotto is? Its in a fat smear of land some 50 yards from the Rio Grande where every day it crumbles and spills over into Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, California, Florida and New York to pick strawberries.

    The pieces flock to sharecroppers, restaurants and hospitals.


    And all these other pieces come to you diseased armchair reclining zombies to clean your house and yard virtually for free. VOILA- you've hit the jackpot.

    And all the while the government gets fat off the tax money its made illegal to claim.

    I don't think there's anything "new" about that dream, I feel things have been this way for awhile. I think alot of people in america want to be rich......... (part of the problem in this country if you ask me
