LT, I agree mostly with what you have to say.....But in this case, Cougs hasn't even GOTTEN the bow yet.....and he's already talking about buying a different one...If I were Andy (which thankfully I'm NOT) I would keep said bow and maybe give it to someone else......As far as getting a new bow every year.......What does it matter to you if someone does or doesn't? Have they spent your money? No, I think not, so why would it concern anyone if so and so buys a new bow every year? Maybe some can't afford it, maybe they just like the one they have and just don't want a new one.....Fine. But it's not status, my friend....It's not to look cool, hip, and all Hollywood......Folks get new bows every year first of all because they can, and secondly they enjoy it.
Lebeau,
I've seen people leave their bosses who supported them through thin times just for a little more money.
People abandon their "friends" over one fight. It's part of the individualistic it's all about you culture
that has been building up. If you are the center of the universe then everything else is something
to be used to further your ends.
I'm not sure I've ever seen a more accurate statement.
