I found a full fifth of Southern Comfort today. The seal is intact and it still has it's $15.99 sticker on it.
The secret is, I'm not sharing it with any of you. 😛
Unless you ask for a drink. 😞

An interesting aspect of the human condition is that most all of its misery is self induced.

(principle of the 3rd-4th generation curse)... specifically rejection of freedom principles and free enterprise economic endeavour. The
opposite result is also in play. Many right decisions of our ancestors have conferred blessing and prosperity upon many undeserving
generations which followed. We still live in freedom today, courtesy of the exploits of the USA Military in War Two. Thanks for being generous
in allowing for 'spiritual misery' as my meaning but that dimension, though definitely interrelated, wasn't really what I had in mind.
