Forgive me.
It’s Friday and I just had to venture off topic a bit once I say this news story.
The surgical techniques used to save the lives of gunshot victims in Baghdad were perfected in Philadelphia, PA in one of their emergency rooms according to Fox News.

Here’s Ben Bleikamp’s take on it.
There is a learning curve if you want to make money online. There is a learning curve for any job. Some require a college degree – that’s a 4 year learning curve and can cost as much as $150,000…maybe more. Lets not even think about graduate school. So what’s the [...]

This has nothing to do with home business – directly.But it is about our Government’s approach to things which strangles business and assumes that as long as a politician is able to skim money off the project, something is getting done.
