Yeah? tell those whose actions are seemingly the opposite of that nature. Not only will they probably disregard that outlook, but may even be hard-pressed to oppose such philosophy as hogwash.

Sorry for this strange format - the quote wouldn't let me separate it from the original post correctly:
"Actually, I left work early today (Friday). I packed up some clothes and drove 2 1/2 hours to the beach. I'm about to go watch the sun set (it rises over the ocean and sets over a bay - this town is special). I just came back from the beach (to hotel) where all I did was sit my fat butt down in a chair, read a chapter of a book, and dip my toes in the sand.
What's sad about this? I haven't been able to do this for 6 years because I could not find a job in my field. I was forced to work two jobs and not make nearly what I was making. I am thankful to be back to work, hopeful Americans will come to their senses and vote for a change, and appreciating that I can take a trip like this."

I truly am not trying to start a fight on this beautiful thread, I just do not understand your quote. You couldn't find a job in your field two years before Obama was elected, and you finally find one that allows you to take these trips during his administration... and you want that to change? Just trying to get my head around that...
Also, the company I work for has given us raises for the first time in 6 or 7 years, and I greatly appreciate that! I hope to be able to take my very first real vacation soon, and not just take time off from one job to work somewhere else. I'd kind of like to see the beach... you made it sound pretty dang good! Of course, anywhere it's quiet would be a blessing.
