@Mr_Husky1 love it!!! p.s. cookies are my favorite food group.

I own a small bakery. Business has been slow. Rent is up. I was thinking about closing. Last Friday, a teenager came in. He looked nervous. He counted out change for a cookie. He was short 50 cents. "It's okay," I said. "Take it." He ate it at a table, looking at his math homework. He looked stuck. I used to be a math tutor. I walked over. "Quadratic equations?" He nodded. "I don't get it." I sat down and helped him for 20 minutes. He got it. He left smiling. The next day, he came back with two friends. They bought cookies. The day after that, five kids came. Apparently, he told the school, "The lady at the bakery helps with homework." Now, my bakery is the after-school hang-out spot. It's loud. It's messy. There are backpacks everywhere. Yesterday, I found a note in the tip jar. It was wrapped around a $20 bill. "Thanks for helping my son pass math. A Mom." I'm not closing the bakery. I think I finally found my purpose. It's not cookies. It's community.

@oren_cass ...and became more attentive to the discussion, I realized the importance of that discussion, not only for its content but the forum as well. so a thank you to Jon Stewart as well for having a real discussion about the economic issues we face in realignment

@oren_cass a GIANT THANK YOU! ...fell asleep after listening to an interview of Eric Yeung conducted by Rafi Farber and awoke to a 31 March discussion you were were having with Jon Stewart on "the daily show" . honestly, I thought I was dreaming but as the cobwebs cleared...

@jameshenryand ...one day when asked 'did you fight in the great Silver War of 25', I will answer, 'yes son. I was one of the few souls who stood for delivery at the Battle of Squircle '. I hope he will be proud.

@judyshel @adamtaggart Dr.Shelton from a layman's perspective, isn't a backed treasury note inevitable?

Adam Taggart @adamtaggart was a wonderful host and very insightful questioner. Thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated our conversation. Thank you, Adam.
