Okay so, long story short, my brother was at a lacrosse tournament, and he found a case full of DS games. He asked an organizer if anyone had lost any, but no one claimed them, and after a while they ended up his. A real shame, but we could not figure any other way to find the original owner 
Anyway, my brother gave them to my 5 year old son. There were about 12 games in there, and there are only probably 3 he would/could play. He does read some, but not enough for a game that requires reading to progress. He has Cars, Mario Kart, Mario 64, Wall-E, and nintendogs, and he can play those. I am going to end up trading them via Goozex or selling them on eBay for some new ones. Anyone have any recommendations? I could really use your help.
This game has been sitting on my shelf for a while, and i just started it a few days ago. I am really enjoying it, which is odd considering i did not like the first. Fable is a little clunky to me still overall, but for some reason i find this one much less annoying than the first, and the exploring is pretty fun.
Well our government is at it again. Once again lobbyists are pushing for the government to force its way into your wallet and take money in order to keep FAILING business afloat. It started with the airlines. "Hey! This is an essential part of our society! We cannot let it fall!" Nevermind the fact that these companies were not only irresponsible, but their executives and stockholders still got paid.
Next up mortgage companies. They give out loans to people who were bad risks (thanks clinton!) and when the whole thing turns upside down, the government gives our money away to them so they can pay dividends to stockholders and expand their territory. Oh, thats right, unlike other countries that did bailouts as well, we didn't put in a clause saying the money could only be used for lending purposes. Either way, they should not have gotten it. They should have failed. Every so often you need a good forest fire to allow new growth.
Now the auto makers want their cut. Once again, the higher ups took out plenty of money, and these businesses were mismanaged. The economy went bad, and since they did not plan well, they can not cover it. TOO GOD DAMNED BAD. Go bankrupt. Disappear from the market. Do whatever you want EXCEPT for robbing americans to fix your idiotic mistakes.
I think it is pathetic that fear is running this country right now. Everyone is so afraid that if any one entity goes out of business, the whole country is doomed. Sorry, it doesn't work like that. Having these businesses fail would be a good thing. It allows new competitors into the market. It serves as an example of how NOT to run businesses. Some jobs will be lost, but so what? That does not give the government the right to just pickpocket every working american so they can save companies that don't deserve to be saved.
Who is going to bail out small companies if they fail? Who is going to bail me out if my bank account hits zero? No one, and no one should bail these people out either. I am so sick with the state of this nation. We are headed right back to where we were when this country was founded. We left because of over-taxation and lack of freedoms. Now our freedoms are shrinking every day, and government gets more and more power. Now we are being taxed to pay for failing companies. Where does it stop?
