Do you know how many times I had to read that to process it? I either need some sleep or to exercise my brain more! =) Timely quote though!

That's what my hubby said too! The quote is from the book Capitalism and Freedom, and you can probably imagine how long it took me to read. ;-)Whew! -GJ

Glad I'm not alone...that's comforting! ;) I'm impressed you stuck with the book and finished it. You'll keep your brain cells much longer than I! ;)
