Cheers to Louis CK! The average person today lives better than the “rich” did 100 years ago. My wife spent two years in Africa and told me that if people from her village were air-dropped into the poor section of Los Angeles, they would think they were looking at rich people.

And yet to listen to all the complaints, you’d think we were all on the verge of falling into a level of poverty straight from Dickens.

There’s a good book written by a French author titled “Anti-Americanism,” in which he examines the reasons people in so many countries don’t like Americans. One of the biggest: we are the richest, freest, most powerful country ever … and yet our media are constantly running stories about how tough life is here.

When you put things in the proper perspective, Tom, NOBODY in America should be complaining about their wonderful lives. But we all DESERVE more, right? HA!

Jimmy,
Twitter is a great way to spread the lowcarb message.
I link to many of your posts and podcasts as a service to my followers. It sends 10-25 visitors to your site. My Twitter strategy is to give and then occasionally ask. The law of reciprocity says that if what I give is good, I will receive in return.
I am a PA and a wellness coach and work with patients who wish to improve their health. Weight management and improved fitness are keys to this.
Twitter will allow you to reach many more people who want what you have. use it to guide them to low carb sites that are beneficial to them and to some of your affiliates and sponsors that are beneficialt to you and them.
I am a new “big Fan” of yours and will continue to send you traffic as I believe you have an important message they need to hear.

THANKS so much, Bruce! I’ll be checking out your site often as well.

–Jimmy

Jimmy, I’ve never had this happen before but I literally just spit coffee all over the place watching the conan clip. I am in shock, I always thought that was a saying but now I’ve got to find a towel. Thanks lol

Happy to make you spew, Maya!
