[Mishmash] Occupy Golf

[Fred Atkinson]

Folks,

         A fellow I know sent me this.

         It really makes the point.

         Regards,



                                                         Fred

>Whining should get us something, like the cover of Time Magazine and

>It's just not fair, why all the unfairness. I demand fairness.
