Rudy McBride: "This may sound weird, but an epiphany came to me. It happened while I was doing some paperwork and listening to the 'Good Morning Ghetto' Drive Time Morning Crew on the Serious Ghetto Science Team Radio Network. Old School Pete and Scooby Rastus (The Angry Black Man) had a deep philosophical conversation about change in our society and how people are dealing with it. Scooby Rastus enhanced the discussion when he shared his interpretation of Plato's cave allegory. I was truly impressed with the information they shared.

"But the epiphany came to me when DJ Ol' School Pete played these lyrics from 'Past Time Paradise' by Stevie Wonder:

'Living in a pastime paradise They've been wasting most their lives Glorifying days long gone behind They've been wasting most their days In remembrance of ignorance oldest praise…'

"Wow, that was deep!

"But I was really inspired by Little Stevie's description of the future paradise:the day when sorrow is gone from time. You know, when greedy credit card companies stop price- gouging consumers.

"I invite you to visit the Let Me Hold Five Dollars National Bank and apply for a 'Future Paradise' credit card—the card that will empower the financially challenged consumer. This is not a stick-up. No surprises, no increased interest rates. Simply put, at the L.M.H.F.D.N.B., we'll let you hold five dollars, but you gotta pay us back!"

How do I get my $20 dollas I loaned out in 1985 back? Can I get some interest with that. Oh, is there a branch in Virginia Beach VA. Keep it up!
