Confucius Says, If Your Plans Are For . . . (Issue 113)

Confucius says, “If your plans are for one year, plant rice. If your plans are for ten years, plant trees. If your plans are for one hundred years, educate men.”
 
So what is education? It is simply an acquisition of knowledge and truth. How does one acquire it?  Not in the tax-supported school system.

Food Prices, Voting Fraud, Stupid Remarks And Dumb Looks (Issue 111)

So much is happening lately the news is like a runaway horse in a frenzy.
 
As far as yours truly, I’m trying to keep up with the rising grocery costs. I went to the grocery store last week and one three-pound rib roast was priced $40.01. We all know how tasty a rib roast is but we also know it has a large bone and a lot of fat in it. I dare say that three-pound roast did not have more than two pounds of lean, edible meat in it. I called the butcher out to make sure he had not made a mistake in pricing. He assured me he had not. So I picked up a much cheaper cut of meat, marinated it overnight, but it was still too tough to chew.

I have changed my buying habits somewhat.
