From the moment the video was shown, I was aware of the sentiment of Mitt Romney regarding whom it was he was referring to when he uttered the 47% commentary.

This past week "WE" lost two children: One to a gun related death and the other to the after-math of bullying: Four year old Michael Easter got a hold of a firearm, shot himself one time and died as a result. Michael's father Mark is a Sheriff's Deputy (the gun was not his service weapon) who at the time was enroute to work when he received a call from his wife regarding the tragedy....

Part III of My Story continues. Part II Part I Today, we continue on after the Bank of America was graced with my presence for the first time. Working the night-owl shift was a real hoot.
