Life has a funny way of molding us into the people we are through the actions, trials, tragedies, and love brought to us.
It is what we do with those major tramas in our lives that decides if we lived our lives, or if life lived for us.
Well said Mickie, I agree with you! I also believe that if the government had given the people the money instead of the banks and the big companies that people would have paid off their houses and other bills and the country would not be in the shape it is in today.

I liked the repetition of “Am I wrong.” Often we think that repetition is bad (and it can be redundant in a traditional essay), but this repetition is almost poetic in its emphasis. I also want to comment on two of your points...one, we have always been a nation with a dark side, so don’t idealize history and two, I am with you all the way on boycotting Wal-Mart! :)
