Re: the lottery
as ridiculous and absurd it is, i still felt like "i had a chance" yesterday. even though all parts of my being know how unlikely it is/will be there was still that glimmer. the dumb and dumber quote really is perfect.

Re: the lottery
Heard an interesting statement yesterday that if you lined up baseballs all the way from maine to LA along a road, designated a single baseball as the winner, then drove along that road and chose a baseball, you'd be 4 times more likely to pick the winning baseball than win the powerball.

I hate living in a world where I can't strong-arm a small town with nearly unlimited resources.

Not quite the same, but you can join that Oregon Standoff movement.Michael wrote:I hate living in a world where I can't strong-arm a small town with nearly unlimited resources.
I'm really pissed - I was going to buy a Frontier League team franchise for the small town and have Jim operate it - ala - Kurt Russell's -dad style.
....anyway, we are all still winners in the gene pool -as Cardinal fans.

Re: the lottery
Alternatives: Find a submissive wife and raise a large family. Volunteer to be a crossing guard. Run a sweet table-top roleplaying night as a strict DM. Commission a fantasy football league and run it like Ruxin does. There are still ways to instill a sense of fear among the subservient without being a billionaire. 1% unite! Ayn Rand forever!

Giving money away to be used on something you approve of is NOT wrong.
