DID YOU EVER WONDER?

Did you ever wonder why when you deposit a goverment tax refund check - not a personal check from a guy who lost a bar bet- not a payroll check - not a bonus check from Sam's - but a genuine US Government Tax Refund check - you are allowed to use only $200 - and have to wait for two or three days for the money to be available to you?

Did you ever wonder why Wall Street can borrow money at less than a 1% interest rate but your college kid has to pay through the nose for both college tuition and the student loan fee to take those required courses on credit?

Did you ever wonder then how Wall Street has the guts to decry the quality of the education our kids are receiving?

Did you ever wonder how many families actually make their college choice determination based solely on the schools athletic budget and win/loss record?

If the number or percentage for the last question is low - did you ever wonder why so many schools are putting so much of their tuition money into athletics
and so little into devising a plan for inexpensive quality education?

Did you ever wonder then how these college administrators can stand - with a straight face - and claim they are an academic institution first and foremost?

Did you ever wonder if only 1/2 of those putrifying Supreme Court supported political attack TV ads for each party's chosen candidates you're seeing daily - if not hourly - were true - why in the name of God did each party assume this was their best candidate choice?

Did you ever wonder when a candidate you supported and voted for, turned into 'the serpent in the garden" after the election, if this wasn't some sort of twist on "The Devil & Daniel Webster" or, for you sports fans, "Damn Yankees"?

Did you ever wonder what in 'hell' happened to these people whom you trusted?

Did you ever wonder why a nice guy - who happens to like writing a blog - intentionally chose to start off his week this way - particularly after hearing all the good news in church the previous one?

Did you ever wonder if the answer to all the questions is the same?
