May I suggest, for our holiday dining, that we eat the rich.

And may I note for the umpteenth time that in the eyes of many people in this world, WE ARE the rich…

Compared to people living in plenty of places outside of America, yes, I know we are considered rich.

But rich is relative. Here, in America, most of us are not rich like the way a tiny minority are. And here, in America today, I’m wondering how long before the rioting begins, when all we George Baileys start looking at all those Mr. Potters and feeling mighty resentful that they got rich off of us…
