But you are. Your tax dollars!

You're only saying that because it's Eric.

Hehehe, I'd be patriotic - liberal style. I would pay off my bills, as I'm tired of paying bills. Then I'd quit my job, and ***** constantly about how everybody owes me everything!!!!

Not really, but I would still quit my job, and relocate to a place that has that awesome little season called winter. Then I'd spend the rest of my life camping, hiking, biking, snowmobiling, and taking zillions of nature pictures.

I think you are a very funny lawyer...

I would give a large portion of that money to poor students so that they can have a better future through education.

I would not give that money to a clueless Pharaoh boy who (thanks to his Republican minions in a bicameral Congress) has wrecked the federal budget, waged a stupid war costing unbelievable amount of money and a large number of human lives.

The Iraq war has distracted us from the real war of terrorism.

Hahaha.... I like your ideas....except for your choice for relocation. Winter is highly overrated. I HATE being cold! I'd move somewhere that NEVER gets cold....Costa Rica comes to mind.....Barbados....

I initially said the very same thing. After 5 years of not even thinking of snowmobiling, I took a trip to Yellowstone, and toured the place on a snowmobile. It wasn't untill then, that I realized just how much I missed the mountains, snow, the bite of the cold morning air, and the sheer pleasure of hitting a good trail on a sled. The 5 year abstinance from sledding showed itself through every aching muscle and joint throughout my entire trip, but it was worth every minute of it, as well as every ache and pain. I haven't been able to get snowmobiles, and winter out of my mind since. My trip to Haliburton, Ontario last winter only cemented this obsession - enough so that I'm now restoring an old John Deere Liquifire despite my southern location. Hiding in an air conditoined house all summer just isn't fun. This summer will be my first riding motorcycles. It's a blast to do, but still not the same as the sled. At least it'll keep me outside, and the winds created from riding at highway speeds makes the heat tolerable. However, I can still ride motorcycles up north in the summer as well, and still be able to ride snowmobiles without trailering it two days down the road in the winter. I really miss the mountains as well, with the sweet smell of pine trees in the summer. You can have the sticky, slimy, grimy southern summer heat. I've about had all I can take............
