    Default June 6 D Day a forgotten day

    A little late in the day, but I was looking at the calendar and noticed the date. June 6 DDay. I didn't see any mention on the news or in the local paper. I guess the they just want to forget about it, seeing that most of the participants are gone. Wonder what the big "Obombus" did to commorate the day, anyone hear or see anything?

    My dad was born on D-Day. Grandpa called home to tell Grandma that it was D-Day and she said, "You're right. It IS dee day." Grandpa died last year. WWII generation is dying off.

    My Dad was a company commander in the 101st Airborne, he got shot up pretty badly during the invasion.

    Other very important things happened on this date in WWII, this is the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Midway.

    In economics, rent-seeking is an attempt to derive economic benefit by manipulating the social or political environment in which economic activities occur, rather than by adding value.

    No monopoly in the history of mankind has reformed itself from within. It has always taken an external threat – a competitor – to drive internal change.
