I used to work in an LI room when I was 19 as a summer job in college. Took me awhile to figure out it was a scam and the owner was a POS. Its probably one of the oldest scams in the area... Who said usury doesn't create jobs?

I find there are two kinds of people: people who can understand math, and everybody else. Everybody else is into multi-level marketing schemes or, in Fife's case, usury.

Wasn't MLM or Amway. I have never fallen for MLM This involved calling people w/ credit card debt and telling them we could lower their rates. I would make commission. Fife would probably like it because he loves large corporations and hates freedom and starving children. He actually told me this btw that he hates helping out people and wishes that he could destroy small family businesses. The guy is pretty mean imo

Just got that Medieval Battle book. Best $6 I've spent in a long time. Feels like I'm in middle school learning about knights and shit. My World History/Ancient/ Medieval Atlases are some of the more inspirational books I likely read before college. Plus this book in particular reminds me of an old war games book I had on famous battles. Though I never got into the gaming aspect of it the pictures were cool. Those figurines most take forever to paint. Then you need to find someone else to play the battle out. That's some real interaction that you just don't see much anymore.

hell yeah. I really like those diagrams too. You can pretty much just start at any battle and learn a lot. Its awesome. I haven't found one of those books for ancient greek/roman battles, but I'm sure they exist.

Make sure you use the dancarlin search engine for amazon when you buy those books so that he gets a piece of the profits. I shouldn't have to keep reminding you of this...

I listened to the two with Dr. David Anders this weekend. Good stuff. A lot of facts I was unaware of. Keep it coming!
