I am a member of golf’s 99%. I play golf when I feel like it, but have
not yet made it to the professional level! I have played the game for
over 50 years, but have not really put in the practice time and study
to be the best. I probably do not have the skills to get there either
and let’s face it I am somewhat lazy.
However, I now feel that I should be paid by the successful dedicated
golf professionals for sort of trying. It is not fair that those
players who have worked harder, have studied the game, have better
equipment and are stronger and more skilled should make all that BIG
money. Where’s my share? Oh sure, they have their charities that they
give millions of dollars to, but I am sure that they write all that
off on their tax returns to reduce paying their fair share. Is that
fair?
They should pay for my golf, buy me new equipment and pay me some of
their winnings. The whole system should be changed to accommodate
people like me! Let’s occupy a golf course and demand that those who
are better at what they do pay for those of us who aren’t as good.
Whining should get us something, like media attention and sympathy!

RE the Kitchen Window of the Future…
Now all I need is a condo in el cajon + a bunch of these windows that show a breaking ocean wave view + air conditioner (ocean breeze) and my 300K condo feels like a 3M Del Mar home! Sounds like a nice deal to me! I can switch to the ‘mountain & snow view’ in the winter!
