Tought Times for Everyone

As I sit here reading over these post I'm getting discoraged, People are getting ready to rip one anther's heads off because of difference of opinions. Believe me these are tough times for everyone! They are probably going to get a lot worse.
We are currently bailing out company's that have wastefully spent all there profits with overpaid executives and wastefull spending. We are now looking into bailing out property owners who have refinanced and overfinanced their mortgages and homes. Yes this is America, and the American dream is owning a home with a picket fence,children,a dog and a Reef Tank. But not if we give it all away. We can not continue a $100.00 dream,living on a $50.00 paycheck. Big business & oil company's are making billions of dollars in profits,and when thing's go wrong they want us, you, me, the Tax payers to bail them out! We give away free health care,that free health care cost me more every month on prescriptions. Maybe the Government should look at overpaid "sports Hero's" for bail out money.I am sorry I got off on a tangent I guess it happens to everyone!

My original point was we are a "family". New Jersey Reefers Club. We need to support one another not get on the defensive because someone disagrees with our opinion. Lately so many posts have had to be edited by the moderators, this is not what this forum is about its about helping one another with are Tanks,Set ups,tear downs, etc. and yes if need be emotional support. I would not hesitate to offer my help to a club member,and I hope you feel the same way too! Thank you for allowing me to vent! ;)
 
Unfortunately you have a certain group of people in this country who see something desirable that someone else has and they think they are entitled to the same things, if they can't afford it they think the succesful should help them. This is being taught to our children from the moment they enter the public school system in the form of mediocrity and conformity. Hell alot of schools won't even let you keep score during a kickball game because its been deemed to judgemental and it might hurt someones feelings.
