We live beyond our means, and it does not make us happy.
We work most of our waking life and what do we get?
We use up finite resources to have things we are told to want.
This was not my idea.

Who?

I'm just a guy.  No special qualifications.

My name is Ron.  My full name isn't so much a secret, as just nobody's business.  It amuses me to go by Ming of Mongo, or Ming the Merciless, out of a love of old movies and pulp fiction.

I've been a highly paid consultant, and I've loaded trucks.  I've written ad copy, and I've written a political newspaper column.  I've traveled, and I've been stuck at home.  As the song says, I've had money, and I've had none.  I've seen a thing or two.  I guess that's my qualification.
