    I still need to add my intro and conclusion. Everything else is about done. Ehrenreich, in “The Worst Years of Our Lives,” talks about how we watch too much TV and how, “the force has transformed the American people into root vegetables,” and I mostly agree with her.

Almost anytime we are doing something the

    “I’m lovin’ it” are the words synonyms with McDonald’s, the world’s most recognized and profitable food chain over the past 75 years.

There are many speculations related to whether they made it out alive or not. Either way, Frank Lee Morris, Clarence Anglin, and John Anglin accomplished an amazing feat by making history with the most well thought out plan.
