I usually live life on an even keel. I once had an odd keel, but fortunately, I had the good sense to throw it back into the water from whence it came. I take pride in maintaining a certain sense of balance in my life. But, there are those times when all

face during the day, if I start with an Apple Fritter the day seems to 
go much better. 

Now, Mr. Uncle Sam, let me explain some of the facts of life to you. 

First, "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" is one of the most
famous phrases in the United States Declaration of Independence and 
considered by some as part of one of the most well crafted, influential 
sentences in the history of the English language. These three aspects 
are listed among the "unalienable rights” or sovereign rights of man. 
Everybody knows that the phrase "the pursuit of happiness," is a 
reference to Apple Fritters. No more pure form of happiness exists then 
enjoying a freshly baked Apple Fritter. 

And another thing, why blame the lowly Apple Fritter on the debt
problem? I have been associated with Apple Fritters most of my life and 
I have never known an Apple Fritter to spend money it does not have. 

I have given this a lot of thought. Apple Fritters are not responsible
for the debt problem in our country but rather politicians are 
responsible. My thought is simply this. Instead of considering Apple 
Fritters as "junk food," why not consider politicians as "junk 
politicians" and tax them. That would make much more sense. 

Out in the real world everybody operates along these lines; if you
create a debt, you have an obligation to pay that debt and not shove it 
off on somebody else. The only ones who do this are all those "Junk 
Politicians" who have no sense of how much a dollar is really worth let 
alone where it comes from. 

I still stand by the words of Jesus. "And he [Jesus] said unto them,
Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God 
the things which be God's" (Luke 20:25 KJV). 

Mr. Uncle Sam, touch my Apple Fritter at your own peril.
