rainbow2007star @rainbow2007star (920) 27 Jul 07

shakatoah 'All it takes for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing.' This is a much-quoted line by Edmund Burke and I'm a firm believer in the truth of it. Evil's a heavy word but often an apt one. Take a good look around you as you go about your daily life....

shakatoah I've only been on MyLot for three days and have written several well considered replies to some discussions. The result? 8 cents I believe. So no, I don't expect to make any great fortune here. It's an interesting place though and if I had lots of time I'd be...

shakatoah I get really indignant on behalf of writers who work for peanuts...or less. It wasn't that long ago that articles and short stories were selling to some publications for $1 a word. Now we're writing 500 words or more for a few cents. As the current idiom goes...
