employees, Halliburton, Blackwater, etc. I figure what the hell, if ya wanna keep a few, no problem. Most of us here have no desire to be rich when people are starving around, the world!

because it such a small investment, with a possible good outcome. I guess people think it is throwing money away.
It does not go off until 11:00pm EST Tuesday night, so there is no rush to buy tickets!

11. I leave it up to God. |
|
Of course, "God helps those who help themselves" so I occasionally buy a ticket. I don't spend more than $1, though -- it'd be insulting to God and she wouldn't like that. :evilgrin:

10. It's fun to imagine how much good one could do with that. |
|
I'd want to fund a college scholarship program for single teen-age mothers, one that paid living expenses. I'd want to fund legal aid for the working poor, particularly in employment rights. It wouldn't be easy to do such things, of course. Maybe that'd make them even more worthwhile.
