The Quest For More Money

  "More Money" has become an obsession in our society. Yesterday Texas Tech was still trying to huckster buyers for 11,000 unsold tickets to a non-conference game. Last night the Lion's Club was auctioning off donated goods for dough. The Cowboy Symposium was still cooking for a buck and selling their wares at the Civic Center. A local democrat has been trying to circulate a newspaper with guest editorial writers that are obviously socialists. The democrat can't sell ads,the paper folded and it's hard times for that editor. Government wants "more money" to hand out raises,buy more cars and other wasteful spending projects. A local couple is still raising money to find their son,who disappeared. Another local couple is looking for funds to pay bills after their daughter fell from a balcony and died this week. "More Money" is also gonna rear it's ugly head in two weeks. Many Lubbock charities will peddle overpriced,poorly cooked food at the South Plains Fair. Struggling businesses will rent booths,hand out fliers and hope to generate more customers and get their money. I understand capitalism but it's side effect of greed is unacceptable. Churches will even practice the "more money" routine at the fair. I  practice "not spending" more money at the fair.
