Crime Pays!

A friend of mine said in a conversation about a week ago that when he got older and if he didn’t have a way to provide properly for himself, that he would commit a serious crime and go to jail. Here is where he said he would simply spend the rest of his days comfortable in the knowledge that he would have meals provided for him, a place to sleep and free health care for the rest of his life while in prison.

I only caught glimpses of the Casey Anthony trial mainly because it was unavoidable to miss. I don’t have any opinion about her guilt or innocence.
What I do know is that this girl is about to become rich selling her story to interviewers and in a future book deal and movie rights.

Casey Anthony

I am sure that you can tell a story off of the top of your head about someone you know who was making money doing something illegal.

When I was younger I worked as an investigator in the retail sector. During my tenure there I fought in the streets with regularity, was shot at, stabbed once, developed a hard-core drinking problem partially to deal with the stress of that and did so for peanuts. During that time I heard all sorts of stories about how lucrative it was to simply lie, cheat and steal.

Most of us beat our heads on the wall trying to figure out how to survive honestly. We toil, we sweat, we cry, and we bleed to do whatever it takes to make it that way.

It never ceases to amaze me and during a period where times have been tough for me personally, this all makes me very discouraged.

I was told growing up that if I didn’t have anything nice to say, not to say anything at all.

Can’t find anything nice up above this, so I apologize for that, but that also now means that I am….

Done.
