I started one season 0-5 but still ended up with the best record in the conference. Often you can be just missing that one critical piece to turn those 5 point losses into 5 point wins.
You have been given some excellent strategic advice about making and sticking to long term plans and avoiding mediocrity.
Off this topic but related to another post of your about Harlen(?) where you said it was peaceful and low crime because everyone has guns.
I stayed in a youth hostel in China once and was sharing a room with two USA students. I said I did not konw a single person who owned a gun, they said they didn't know a single person who didn't have a gun. I said I have never known of anyone ever, friend, relative, friend of an uncles friend's neighbour that had been shot. They said they knew many close friends and relatives that had been, some sadly fatally. You said you don't need to lock your doors. My old Ford Falcon had a broken lock so I didn't lock it for three years until the police finally took it off the road for good. My old house was never locked. Often the front door was completly open with no-one home (I admit I didn't like that because it was often full of flies). When I ride my bike to the local shops I just lean it against the wall. No guns, no problems.
Good info.
Yea, I have to admit, I don't know anyone who does not own a gun. In fact, most own a few guns.
I promise you this, I've slept for years with a gun under one pillow of my bed, me using the other pillow. If I wake up and an intruder is in my room, well, you know how that story is likely to end. Shoot first, ask questions later. You know the saying, "I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by six."
Most don't need guns around here, but they have them just in case.
The main problem is, we have a major drug epidemic in the USA. If someone from the US tells you they live in a town without a major drug problem, they're either lying, or on drugs themselves. Drugs have taken control of people's lives here and because of that, they break into homes and steal to be able to afford drugs. When they break into the home and someone is home, they will often kill the home owner so they cannot tell and send them to prison. So it pays to have a gun to protect your family.
Thanks for the info. I'm currently 0-4 in my league and planning to buy some better players off the TL before my next league game. I put my three aging vets on the TL because they simple are not good enough for this level, and am planning to spend nearly $1M on three better replacements before my next league game. But I've lost hope of being able to finish any higher than 5th in my league. The teams are just too good to catch up to after being behind by 4 games.
