Gould is an extreme example of an attitude that is almost pervasive in North America: what people think you are is more important that who you are. The huge amount of consumer debt in Canada, and especially Alberta, is tangible evidence of too many people living beyond their means. One day the bubble will burst for these folks and they'll take the rest of us down with them.

Yeah the world is full of these types. I know they dupe a lot of people but I have always seen them from a mile away...and its obvious most of the time, but people still fall for stuff like this.

Its really sad actually.

you know Donald trump?

it was unfortunate that the woman in the story quit her job - hopefully she was able to find something else.

I too assume this fellow has some type of issues and I hope he finds help for himself and before he sucks other into his vortex of crap
