Also, it's not like I'm starving myself or malnurished, I just don't eat as much or as healthy as I probably should. In my opinion, the worst are: 1. People with children that need to learn to be responsible and take care of the children 2. People that worry about cable more than electricity such as in your example, there again seem irresponsible and illogical (TV don't work without power, lights don't work, refrigerator, microwave, etc etc) <em>Nick's last blog post..<a href='http://www.romandock.com/let-the-frenzy-commence/' rel="nofollow">Let The Frenzy Commence</a></em> I must admit that I do have cable and do watch a fair amount of TV and do sometimes not have any food in the house, but I’m a single guy living alone (well, me and the dog, but I always make sure he’s got food to eat) In my case though, the only one who suffers if I choose to skip a meal is me as I am not responsible for feeding young children who have not choice and cannot fend for themselves.
