Do you go to you city councel meetings? School board?
Have you taken time to enhance your work skills? Or, taken the time to learn something new?
I could go on and on with the questions.
Mr. Average American, if you actually chose to answer them or at least think about them, you will find that your life is not so bad. And on top of that, you will find that the things you complain about are in your control.
