If you haven’t listened to hip hop for the last ten years, then the title of this post will make absolutely no sense to you. If I went further and mentioned Big Pun featuring Joe, you’d probably roll your eyes and go back to listening to Teddy Pendergrass sipping on some E & J, wearing your Member’s Only jacket trying to figure out how to stop you phone from making “funny sounds”. (Nothing wrong with doing any of the above… in moderation)

Sometimes I wonder who invented politics. My guess is someone who likes disagreement. There were no politics back in the cave days. Cavemen politics consisted of survival, while today’s politics are about how well you survive.

Most of us have to look at prices when we shop (and I doubt that has to do with being rich or poor) and we all have seen how prices have crept up. So we end up making uncomfortable choices. Do we get the little one or the big one, do we get the deluxe or the simple, etc.

There are countries that don’t have those choices. You go to the store to get food, and you come back with rice. There’s no long-grain rice, short-grain rice, brown rice, soy rice, fat-free rice, etc. There’s just rice. Take it or leave it.

So next time you feel like complaining about prices, realize that at least you have a CHOICE.

Republicans are nothing but angry Democrats. (Like the title, that last sentence had nothing to do with this article, I just wanted to throw that out there.)
