Many complain about the mainstream media in how they miss points, and how they keep looking at the bright side of things without seeing the dark side. Well, Bloggers need to get a life. For the most part I have completely ignored blogs like Mish’s, and How I Made My First Million at 33, and so on. And I have completely ignored Jim Rogers who seems unable to make a trade.

So I was reading this New York Times article, and it said the following:
But even if nobody achieves album sales on a Jacksonian scale, couldn’t he or she be an artist every bit as popular, every bit as loved, every bit as listened to?

Disclosure: I had a Microsoft position which I unloaded at a slight profit due to the fact that I have lost complete faith in the current management of Microsoft.
I was surfing the web and every now and then I like to check the website MSDN.Microsoft.com. I check it out because I write .NET code, and I use Office in my solutions. So that I don’t confuse people to like .NET and C# quite a bit, and I like Office 2007, but my love of Microsoft ends there.

Chris wrote to me the following comment:
Debt is the biggest issue facing us all. I found this video on YouTube which really opened my eyes to the importance of getting out of debt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50bWUrKAbwU I am sure you will be as amazed as I was.

Chris, sorry to disappoint you, but I was not amazed. Not because what he was saying was not true. In fact he is saying the truth, but the fact that he is misleading the truth. What he …
