I must say that I was very incredulous when I heard the T.V. evangelist Pat Robertson told his “700 Club” that the penalties for marijuana possession were to harsh. Pat made the statement on air to his audience. He said that treating offenders would be a better option.

Some people claim that he was endorsing the legalization of pot but his spokesmen denied the claim. He was simply saying that using pot was wrong but that spending years in jail was not correct. I believe we will have to wait for further clarification on the issue.

One thing that I was not to happy to hear about today was that Senate majority Leader Harry Reid wants to legalize online gambling. Many people in his home state of Nevada want to break into the market and make big money. I know that gambling can be lucrative, but I am against it.

I believe it’s wrong for people to gamble at all, but that’s just my personal opinion. But I do think that allowing people to gamble online would be a huge mistake. It wouldn’t take long until some were hooked and they may lose everything they have. I hope congress decided not to support this bill!

Since the decision to allow gays to openly serve in the military, there has still been a lot of debate on the subject. While many in the military have no strong feelings either way, there is still a hard core element of marines that feel strongly that gays should not be allowed to render military service.

The U.S. marines are known to be a tight knit group. They have a long history and are proud of it. Many marines don’t want their image as tough fighters diminished by allowing gays to serve. I think it will take more time before the marines except gays into their service.

One of my all-time favorite holidays is Halloween. I love to see the kids dressed up in their costumes and coming to the door. This year was especially nice as we had numerous kids visit our home. It is always a pleasure to me to hand out the candy to all who come.

My favorite costume this year was a little boy who was dressed as Darth Vader. He was so cute and he had a cute little sword to go with the costume. I gave him a little extra candy than I gave to everyone else. I guess that makes it worth it to have a great costume.

One thing I love about my job is that there are many perks. I do a lot of traveling around meeting clients and that brings a whole lot of chances to spend company money. While the money is mostly spent on my clients, I also get to spend some on myself. A recent golfing trip comes to mind where I got to do what I wanted while maintaining the company’s interests.

One thing a lot of my clients like to do is golf. We go out on the course and play a few rounds while discussing business. It can be hard to get tee times on occasion, so I use a site called www.48hourteetimes.com. It is easy to use and allows me to set up a game on short notice. This is important when I have clients who need to be taken care of.

There are a number of things I like about the site. The site lists all the openings for a number of courses. I can book my last minute tee time and save money as well. I can choose the date and time I need to book. Another good aspect is that there is no membership fee to use the site. Thanks to 48 hour tee times, I look good in front of my clients.
