The financial problems of the world have caused me to lose a couple of clients, but other than that, I have been very fortunate employment wise.

Sadly, though, this "economic crisis" is bullsh**--if anyone would care to research how such entities as the IMF and the Federal Reserve operate. (Read the book, "The Creature from Jekyll Island" for starters. DR...
