“Equal in America?”

1963 protest for equal rights



“Equal in America?”

(The Science of Ten Steps Back)

I said it before, and I'll say it again. As long as people of color who were and are descendent's of those taken from Africa centuries ago, who live, work and remain in this country and this northern hemisphere, you must know that we will always be viewed as slaves. Former slaves, emancipated slaves, and escaped slaved. Slaves without proper passage. Slaves with great talent. Slaves who out of want to fit in, gave the world many great inventions, musical blessings, and sports icons and exploits, yielding many contributions to the american way of life. Yet and still, in essence we are Slaves in waiting once again and forever in america. Yes Slaves forever more in the eyes of many whites who see us as nothing else but a means to an end!... Free Enterprise!  And now (as far as law enforcement) see us as prey!

To this day, even within our own culture, many of us carry ourselves, as slaves. We even treat each other as such! The Willie Lynch Letter and slave conditioning tactic has locked itself into place. And it is working just as he predicted it would! So much so that we now murder our own at an alarming rate. We name call one another, and treat our women and elders horribly, just like the slave masters of old did us with a crack of a whip in one hand, and a gun in the other! 

Because of modern media and its brain washing idiot box (the television) and all the musical-mind-drone programs, our children now speak and boast the broken dialect of the slaves of old, minus any kind of articulate vocabulary, such as that of Frederick Douglas. All the while thinking trend-wise what they’re doing is something smart!

During slavery times, Slaves were not allowed to read or write. So, just like in times of old, once again, because of an intentionally dumbed-down public school system (and other tactics) over the many years and decades. Broken english, and Slave-Speak is now Chic for many black youth! 

Only we (or should I say ‘some’ of us) are able to understand just what it is most of our youth are saying to one another, as they throw gang signs, speed-rap and curse and belittle some of the women in their songs and videos; as well as their mothers and children, in the process. 

No matter what is done to us, we demand not our freedom or respect from those who oppress us. Not even unto death as other races do! We mainly just do what it takes to Get Along in society; always seeking acceptance. Not wanting to make waves! There are those among us who are always shuffling backwards! And until we stand together and unite in simple self-respect and honor, and say, "Freedom or Die!" We the descendent's of the slaves of africa will always be run-over, disrespected and dead last, always frozen out, lied to and deceived until one day we’er eventually eradicated!

As a people we’re apparently still stuck in an 1860’s slave mentality mode! The only difference is some of us carry personal electronic devices, and we just dress better than some of our slave predecessors! Well, at least some of us do. Those who are inclined to pull their pants up around their waste, and at least dress appropriately for whatever occasion, seem to be far and few between these days! 
In America, as a people, we will never be allowed to foster or set up a sound and successful infrastructure within the black community, or command our own localities in which commerce flows between our own people; and yet forthwith support our city, state and local government in which we live. 

We are not allowed to bring about a thriving community, contributing to the american way of life, with proud citizenry, and subdivisions in local areas, whereas we can show solidarity to america! Some of us are only conditioned (and Red Lined) out of this idea, and encouraged and herded into living in low income drug infested, blighted areas where eventually because they’ve become minus’ed out of the system. Therefore resorting to stealing in order to survive, and subsequently succumbing to the evil of the streets committing murders and selling drugs! Feeding off our young, and slowly destroy themselves, while quietly becoming a passing phase through laws passed to take everything from you. To a stark Gentrificationing process. One that further, and completely systematically minuses you out of the american dream equation! slowly but surly. Like the hands of a clock!

Though flattering and amusing, a great lot of those great great grand children of those who enslaved our ancestors do not require, nor do they want our citizenship or loyalty to any real degree. They only want our downtrodden subservience, and the sweat off our backs, and corralling of our minds! We are only seen as america’s whipping poles. Nothing more! 

For we are only just allowed to live here, in america in lieu of their itching hope, anticipation and possibility that slavery will one day be re-instated; and rebooted in the guise of something more much more modern than the antebellum version. Yet just as confining and controlling! The Prison Pipeline being one of those ways to triumph for whites who have long awaited this goal of completion for people of color! 
Martin Luther King abused by white men during a protest
From the start, our victories were designed to be few and at best, fleeting. And always fashioned so that in time, eventually all gains made would in part, or completely would be altered or eventually reneged upon! The voters rights, and some of our civil rights for example! They set an old timey Uncle Tom sellout up in the supreme court to be the salt in the wound for this act! Those freedoms granted us were and are just cosmetic, and are only road repair asphalt patches that will one day come loose and fall apart somewhere down the road aways!

The children and great great great grandchildren of slaves in america will never be looked upon as equals in a country that for centuries has showered us with constant murders and abuses of every kind. From beatings, public beatings, family separations, woodblock auctions, public hangings, and an outright total disrespect toward black people as human beings. 
Young Black Man beaten into a coma by Police
Not to mention a hellish Machiavellian quandary of other endless devilish cruelties set against us that are far too many to note in their entirety! Refining and locking in the sad science of what I call, “Ten Steps Back!” For every advancement that black people made here in america, there seems to always be a ten step back retraction in gains. No matter what we do! 

When this retraction comes, If it does not come from without. It is sure to come from within! Right within your midst and circle! The supposed Willie Lynch Letter theory and hypothesis has proven that! One true fact is this. 

Whenever we do not stand up for ourselves, we surly lose! There has to be that point where one has to say, “Enough is enough!”
As long as the descendent's of Africa who were stolen from our homeland live, work and exist here in America among those who enslaved us, there will never be a moment’s peace for us here! Yet know simultaneously that not all white people feel this way, nor do they want us looked upon and treated as such; yet and still, there are those who are ancestors of those who enslaved us who in their hearts of hearts never wanted us to know true freedom, and self-respect.

Nor do they want us to ever know equality, for they feel superior to not only black people, but many other citizens of the earth! Our steps are shadowed, and our walk will be hampered as long as superiority and imperialism exist against us in america! 
In conclusion, and simply put. How can we expect anyone to respect us when we do not respect ourselves? For in their eyes, our not doing so shows them that we are weak and will always cower and shake in fear, and not act! The mindset is that we should just not make waves, and just “Get Along!” 

How can this ever truly happen when to those who mean us harm, in their eyes, we're still their property in slave runaway mode! Yet in this modern age most of us cannot seem to wrap our minds around such a though! And still the question arises! So you want to be thought of as Equal?
Well then I ask you. Who in this world thinks of their property and possessions as something equal unto to themselves? No one!

If we are to live in America, we must always know the eternal truth in that, we are not any man’s property, and what has and is currently being done to us was and is still wrong!

Beautiful Black Woman Representational of Mother Africa
We are the descendant's of Mother Africa. The very cradle of civilization! Truth be told, we are the apple of God’s eye! We’re beautiful and forever long suffering people, faithful and full of knowledge! Yet peace is the core of our existence. Normally we hath not a murderous spirit! Thus why we were taken, and used as slaves! Our inner strength and Godly gifts set us apart from those who greatly envy us enough to want to be us, and yet hate us enough to want to kill us at the same time! 

Once we come to know our King and Queenly birthright, and place with the creator of the universe; these steps will not be hampered any longer, no matter what they do to us. It will be at that time when no one will be able to take those steps from us ever again!

Welcome to the Real World, Rachel Dolezal



Rachel Doleal





“Welcome to the Real World, Rachel DolezaL”

(The Real World of being Black)

By Glenn Peppers                                                            July 22, 2015


Let me start out by saying, Rachel! My dear Rachel Dolezal. You did say that you identified with being black, didn't you? Oh I get it. Up until recently, you only identified with just some of the most pleasant parts of being black! 

Oh ok, now I get it! All of a sudden, Rachel Dolezal is entering into the other half of being black. The Real World of being Black! The world of Discrimination, Ostracization, Oppression, Racial Profiling (despite how good of a person you are). You're experiencing Segregation, Denial of Advancement. And of course, Denial from whites that you are even being discriminated against, and left out of the equation. 


You never really had a clue about what it is like to be black, did you? I mean, Really be Black! Of course not! Being black means facing the very real possibility of Police brutality, and of course, in your case, Job Discrimination, just to name a very few things! Rachel, maybe now you know that being black isn't all about braids, attitude and fashion trends. Being black carries a burden inside that comes with 500 years of ancestral oppression burned deep into your soul! You couldn’t possibly relate to this haunting feeling! 

This ancestral oppressed burden brings along with it a strange connection that runs deeper than any surface attitude or ethnic appearance that the world could ever comprehend! Being black isn't some Pop Culture fad drenched in Motown music and Hip Hop! Being black isn't about all the sellout shuckin' and jivin' and cooning you see and hear black folks do in media who know nothing about why they act the way they do, reducing our culture and accomplishments by decades by what they reflect on TV and in our music now days!
Sellout negative images of black women on Reality TV

Being black isn't about black folk singing and moonwalking! Being black is not about fake reality TV shows, and hair weaves and twerking! Being black runs deeper than any thing you can imagine a people to be who were once considered kings and queens in their own land of Africa. Being black means that you and your kind (byway of slavery and captivity and centuries of conditioning) have been reduced down to mere pawns on a european chessboard of power, commerce, and subjugation onto human degradation! My dear Rachel, in claiming to be black, you have jumped from the fire into the frying pan! Its gettin' a lil' hot in the kitchen, huh Rachel! 


So hot in fact that maybe now I’m betting that you'll be wanting to shed the braids and lose the tan about now! Maybe now you'll take some of the attitude out of your voice as you over emphasize what you think are, real black gestures, and real black emotions in order to fit in! Break out your perfect diction and annunciation Rachel, and lose the inner city swag that you've grown accustom to putting on. For it was all an illusion! Believe me, you were only playing at being black! Your european soul and roots tell a far different story about you.


In my best Hannibal Lecter voice I say, "Run Rachel Dolezal! Now run, and fly, far far away! Go back to your nice clean café tables in suburbia, and your world totally lacking of any corporate glass ceilings, and employment opportunity barriers based on skin color! Run dear Rachel, and feel free to drive anywhere in these continental United States cities under the guise of, Rachel Dolezal, White Woman! Free and proud! For in doing so, you'll go about your way virtually unbothered from sea to shinning sea!" 

I have no doubt that you'll find work when you awaken and eventually drift back across the tracks of your mind. Awaken Rachel Doleza, and reconnect with who you really are! I have no doubt that wherever you end up, you'll be accepted by your kind! You'll be hired to do whatever it is you want to do in this great big world that your kind control! Signpost ahead! What does it read? "Thank you Rachel Dolezal for visiting Africa-Ville! Hope you enjoyed your stay!" 

As you continue driving, you see another sign ahead. It says, "Welcome Rachel Dolezal! You are now entering Reality-Ville! We've been waiting for you!"

“William H. Cosby’s Admittance to Guilt”



Dr. William Henry Cosby


“William H. Cosby’s Admittance of Guilt”



By Glenn Peppers       7-8-2015



(The Rusty Nail in the Coffin of his Career)

I just saw a news report on Bill Cosby this afternoon, and his admitting on court transcript of purchasing Quaaludes (a tranquilizer and mood drug), and giving them to unsuspecting women in order to have sex with them. hearing this has set a sad tone and mood in me today! Right about now I am heartbroken! As are many people who’ve come along through the 1960's, 70's and 80's and even the 1990's with Bill Cosby. People from my generation grew up with him, admired him, and loved his work and accomplishments since the early to middle 1960’s! 

At first, I thought this whole thing of his raping and abusing this seemingly ridiculous amount of women was all a scam in order to bring down this powerfully successful, and wealthy black man who changed the landscape of television in america just after the civil rights era, and the world by breaking the color line (and on NBC at that). 

Then I thought to myself. All this is being done in effort to bring down a man who was, and still may be in the midst of putting together a Bill Cosby Television Production Company that would rival that of Oprah Winfrey and the Ted Turner’s Empire has got going. I kept thinking to myself about all these women coming out of the woodwork, seemingly out of nowhere, and at breakneck speed! “Why such an onslaught, and emergence as if all this had just happened?” 

There was and still is an odd eagerness about all this that still bothers me, despite Cosby’s off handed admission or confession in a deposition done years ago. One where he admits to buying quaaludes and using them as a date rape drug!  As far as the public, and possibly many of his colleagues knew, Cosby seemed to have always maintained class and dignity, and never showed any sign of being the type of person who’d take advantage of anyone! Let alone an unconscious woman! The only thing we all knew about Bill Cosby in our world is that he had always giving us some pretty interesting and endearing humor, and positive images for and of black people, and for the rest of the world! 

Cosby was the first black man on television that I saw as a child who wasn't an embarrassing stereotypical clown or a buffoon! He was Chet Kincade, high school coach, and physical education teacher on the Bill Cosby Show in 1969. Before that, he was Scotty on I SPY! And he was very cool on that TV show! He and Robert Culp were partners and equals on the show. Bill Cosby was never anybody's butler or a slang talkin' Jim Crow throwback of what bigoted hollywood has always wanted black people to be viewed and depicted as! Bill Cosby had exuded class and intelligence. And it showed! 
Cosby made the whole idea of black youth making collage their aspiration seem pretty darn cool! He even helped create a television show to that effect. "A Different World!" Regardless of his shortcomings, this television show still inspires black youth to go to collage; and expressly encourages them to try and attend traditionally black collage campus like, Spellman and Morehouse.

I guess what was and is so heartbreaking and disappointing to me this day was the smirky attitudes and half sniggly looks of victory some of the newscasters and other broadcasters and commentators had on their faces as they conveyed this news. Some of them intently imparted an air and a look that clearly said, "We’ve Got Him!" Not Bill Cosby the Rapist or Bill Cosby the Abuser, or Bill Cosby the Potion Pusher to unsuspecting young women. But “We’ve Got Bill Cosby” that “Damned Uppity N----R!" 

From channel to channel, some of them seemed to actually revel in this once well loved man’s hard tumbling down that long bumpy ladder of shame into dishonor, humiliation and disgrace! A man who some of them clearly they never liked all along, but only tolerated throughout the years! So, how many more black people of legend in our midst do some of our most popular, and powerful media facilitators sit back and laugh and joke with other distinct black people of renown, yet hate their guts, and lay in wait for their public demise? Hmm, I wonder! 

Self admission is quite tangible evidence! Its undeniable! In admitting the purchasing of knockout type drugs for the purpose of putting aspiring actresses and models unconscious in order to have sex with them, Cosby planted a firm Rusty Nail in his career coffin! Imagine, all those years and decades of positive works and accomplishments, gone! How does one live with something like that? For that matter, how did he live with what he did to all those young women, for all those years? Did he ever give any thought as to how such an experience could have ruined their lives? 

The thought makes me tremendously sad. Yet I'd rather he admit to these horrible things and man up to them, then for him to try and carry on as if nothing had ever happened at all, and fool-heartedly try to make us think of him in an endearing way! My heart would never let me do that, knowing what he had done! 

So I guess I’ve resigned myself to the fact that, life goes on! Heroes fall, as younger modern day heroes gain acceptance, fame and fortune, and then one day, they too will become the slick on the bottom of hollywood's shoe that they’ll soon want to scrape off! Like so many others who have broken my heart in modern media, in recent times, I am so over them in that, I'm learning much better at how to see the hero in me! And even then I’ve had to learn not to harbor unrealistic expectations concerning myself, because I too am human! 
Like any of you, I have faults and cockamamie shortcomings, and I just might not be the person (in your eyes) that YOU may think I am or should be. Yep, news flash folks!... We all have shortcomings that would shame us terribly! The only difference is, the whole world isn't viewing our lives coming apart at the seams, under the microscope of a TMZ /ET tabloid world; and on 24 news outlets like CNN, and MSNBC, etc!

So, where do I (we) go from here? Where does Doctor Bill Cosby go from here? Where will all those damaged victims of his go from here? Hopefully through some kind of therapy or healing process! Maybe Cosby’s strange admittance of guilt is now some form of closure for them and himself. Sure they're angry. Heck I am angry too! For that matter, I think we're all angry, anybody whose enjoyed Cosby’s work in any way over these many years! 

Come to think of it! Given our lifetime of love and devotion. We (the many fans of Bill Cosby) have been abused as well! In a sense, Cosby has ravaged the minds of all those who loved him! In a manner of speaking, he's taken advantage of our gullible nature to love those wonderfully colorful images he’s painted for us! We’re victims too in that we are prey to the illusions and images we see on our TV screens, and in most all modern audio and video media that we see and hear everyday. And that illusion is that, rich, beautiful and talented people on TV, the record business, the movies and in sports are PERFECT People! There is no such thing!

Knowingly or not, Cosby played us all for fools by portraying this wholesome, Jello Pudding Pop/Everybody's Dad who (as he said on one of his albums) let's his own children eat cake for Breakfast kinda guy. When all the while he was wrestling with a terrible demonic style Jekyll & Hyde persona, lurking in the shadows of his mind, going, Hey, hey, hey! Fooling the hell out of all of us!

And the thing I find saddest for all his fans in dealing with the memory, and the very idea of Bill Cosby the abuser, here and now is this; There's nothing illegal what he did to us! There is nothing illegal in pulling at our heart strings, and our emotions through comedy, or producing great television shows and movies, or having an infectious personality on talk shows, and in concert and on funny comedy albums. So our long distance Mind Screw’ed hearts doesn't get a chance at any legal closure, or get a trial against Bill Cosby for breaking our hearts. This inner hurt will have to be something that we'll have to resolve within ourselves! I’ve said it many many times before. A quote by John Lennon. “Aspire not to meet your idols, for they’ll always disappoint you!” I can’t express to you how true this saying is!

As I mentioned, I have rediscovered the hero within me! There’s a song by the English 1980’s punk rock band, Spandau Ballet that comes to mind. The song, "GOLD!" Part of the Lyrics are as follows!...

“GOLD”

Gold (gold) 
Always believe in your soul 
You've got the power to know 
You're indestructible 
Always believe in, that you are 
Gold (gold)” 

One good thing has come out of this for me since this first came to light months ago. There comes a strange empowerment through the pain of losing a hero (or heroes)! It brings you back down to basics! It puts you in touch with self! You will then find that when you love God and yourself, you’re indestructible! Something I’ve actually known all along, but sadly had to be reminded of it! When you get to this point, this is where you are supposed to be in life! In knowing this truth, there will be nothing you can’t do! There should be no more important elements in your life than, God the creator who fashioned you. Your family and of course yourself! 

So my mission is simple. I will pray for healing in this moment! Healing for all those who were abused by Bill Cosby, and for Bill Cosby himself. You can only pray for a man who has in his lifetime gained the whole world, and in his twilight years, stands a chance of losing his mortal soul! I say Let the healing start, for everyone!

“Exploring the Mind and Intent of Rachel Dolezal”


Rachel Dolezal
 “Exploring the Mind and Intent of Rachel Dolezal”
(How can you trust someone who wants to be you?)






By Glenn Peppers                                                                              June 15, 2015



So here is the crime (if there be any crime at all). Pretending to be a Black Woman! Although what Rachel Dolezal did may appear to be harmless, I think that had this been done by someone with a more nefarious intent, depending upon the organization that person belonged to, great harm could come to that business or association in which that person is affiliated with! 

For that person could easily have infiltrated, and clandestinely undermined and taken apart, bit by bit any company, or corporation at will from the inside out!

Dolezal with braids


Think about it. Speaking realistically, Rachel Dolezal was the proverbial fly on the wall! Had she been the type of person to sling a monkey wrench into the well intended workings of that branch of the Spokane, Washington NAACP, she could easily have done so, no problem! 

What if she belonged to any other supposedly self contained black association. Say for instance, The Black Panthers? And by the way, weren't they in fact basically destroyed and/or infiltrated and disbanded in just such a way as this?
This kind of thing Dolezal's executed could actually be the perfect subterfuge! A means to destroy any movement from its very core if necessary! Although I don't think this was Rachel Dolezal's goal at all. 

Still you have to think that this would be the perfect Human Trojan Horse senerio! As hard as it is to keep and maintain black organizations together without outside forces coming against them. Suddenly, and out of the blue, in subtle blackface, stylish braids and curls, we have the likes of one, Rachel Dolezal heading up a well respected branch of the NAACP. And in the guise of a Black Woman no doubt! Well Imagine that!

So what do we do about something such as this? Is Rachel Dolezal just another adoring white person craving melanin, full lips and Video Vixen Butt Injections? Or was and is she imparting some pretty slick undermining tactics from a high up position at the helm and seat of power? Power reserved for those within the black community! 

Dolezal held a position traditionally seated mainly by blacks to help bring about change, racial tolerance, justice and equality. Although whites do actually belong to the many NAACP branches across the country, there's sort of an, “Ah-Ha, I fooled you!” sneakiness involved in someone playing the role of a black person who is in charge of any NAACP in America. 

The thought of anyone emerging, and then outing themselves as being someone who they are not is very unsettling! In short, what you’re dealing with is someone who has lied to you, and someone who has deceived you! Its like meeting that one beautiful woman, and finding out at the end of the evening that that she is a man! I don't know about you, but most guys would be thoroughly pissed!

So what was Rachel Dolezal in fact doing at the NAACP? Could she have been misguiding or misleading things? Could she have been infiltrating things from within, or informing the various white supremacist groups of African american social and civic plans and intentions; and/or dismantling things unbeknownst to group members, or other people of color. I still find this somewhat disturbing when I really think about it. 

To be honest, you wouldn't have any reason not to trust her. Therefore she'd go about her everyday duties at the NAACP completely unobstructed, and unquestioned. To the many people around her who naturally assumed on a heart to heart, and soul to soul level, Rachel Dolezal shared their True Black, Real Life Experiences. 

An experience that comes from personal and generational long-suffering of the soul, coupled with a deep seeded longing for freedom! A longing that cannot be faked or contrived! 

Just like those who commit Stolen Valor, or in other words, fake being military personnel. Faking the color and cultural strides of people of color is one thing; but Faking the Burden is a whole other thing! The Burden is something you just can't fake! Being black is something you can't play up on and just relate to, if its not apart of you. 

In being black, you'll feel that stain of generational injustice passed down onto you. You'll sense that long distance ache of ancestral mistreatment, and feel the inner scars of the human soul that cannot be felt or portrayed by simply wearing ones hair in curls, or darkening one's skin tone! 

Believe me when I tell you that in being black, the wounds run much deeper than any cosmetic application can bring about! Being black is all a matter of soul! And not James Brown or Isaac Hayes’ Hot Buttered type of Soul! 

When you are born black in america, and are ancestrally linked to Africa byway of the middle passage. You almost automatically hear the drumbeat inside your soul, longing to be free from tyranny and oppression. Being black will show itself in your eyes as you crave peace and freedom! 

Liberty is a hunger that will sting you, and smolder inside you like the guttural gnawing pangs of starvation. Liberty can't wait to settle on your person so that your spirit can rest! Until this happens, we will not rest! This yarning is ceaseless! We wait, day by day. Minute by minute! For we know that one day, freedom will come. This longing is the part of being black that cannot be faked!

Money (how its used to herd us about)



Money



Roughly 200 Million Dollars in cash
(How its used to herd us about)

By Glenn Peppers June 10th 2015

One things for certain. There’s not very much you can do in this world without money! Everyday rich and powerful people with money make decisions with it! They wield power with it! A great many of the super rich have made money their God, and worship it in every aspect of their lives! With haughty pride, they enjoy moving and shaking things up no matter where we are standing on that big multi lane highway of progress! People with huge sums of money herd those without money around like cattle. They kill businesses. And they also build businesses! Especially if those businesses will benefit them and their cronies!

One things is for certain. Money is power, and without it, you are basically powerless, in a worldly sort of way! Yet in any financial situation, if one is not savvy enough to make enough money, or if you're not smart enough to keep hold of, and make more money. Chances are that person will soon surly lose their money, and FAST! For money does have wings!

One other thing is for certain, and that is money is a tool! It can be used for good, and it can be used to control the masses! Um, that would be average everyday people like us. Rich folks control industry, and untold places and localities around the world, and a lot of other things you'd never imagine could be moved or manipulated! A group of super rich people with money can move mountains! Yet thousands of us regular folk without it can barely get together and move a paper drive! That’s why we have to stay humble! It is our good naturedness that makes up for our lack of greed and covetousness that the super rich suffer from!

Those with money do plenty of bending and shaping of this world, and carry us along by their trade winds of change, often without our knowledge and say so, caring not what happens to us! Ah, but even as this occurs, I say do not be disheartened! Always know this!... 

After it is all said and done. In the end, God owns every stitch of paper material that money is printed on! The creator of the universe owns every plastic credit card, and digital footprint of money projected on any form of currency, coin, or banknotes in denomination of tender worldwide, and in all of existence since the beginning of time! So just because you don't have a lot of money, doesn't mean you cannot live! Life makes a way! God intervenes! God changes things! He is the ultimate mover and shaker! He may not always make you rich, but he will help you take care of the things that needs to be done in life!
Always remember that it is true, for some of those who have money, for one reason or another, one day they may not have or maintain the riches they once had; and this one finale thing is most definitely certain! Once you leave this earth, no matter how much money you have amassed in your life, you sure as heck cannot take it with you! That my friend, rich or poor is for Certain!
