Continued from the previous message...

DB> For every millionaire who succeeded there are 1000 who failed,
DB> Don.  And EVERY successful millionaire had help at every crucial
DB> moment along the way.  One of the greatest innovators was Cecil
DB> Rhodes, the UK adventurer
And there's lots of worthy people who've taken some mean shots in life 
and never got over them, either.
DB> because there weren't the people to help at the crucial moments.
Yep
DB> It is not so 1-2-3 as you suggest.  *I* would rather work with the
DB> skills and experience I have, knowing that there is ALWAYS a need
DB> for office support.
Never is... what do you want to do with it???????????? It is up to 
you, you know!
Lets take this to Netmail... I've a feeling you're local to the L.A. 
area as there's a real quick turnaround time with our mail. I think 
you're getting freaked out for the wrong reasons. Black people are 
not the only folks getting stomped on. Its the nature of the modern 
day corporate environment. I just got back from San Francisco and 
while in a cabdriver bar with some friends, met the owner. He's an 
attorney (big time) and walks the slats on weekends for something to 
do. He used to be a cop, worked the same station where I had a lot of 
cop friends. When I asked him why he quit being an officer he 
answered: "I made sergeant and just before my promotion I was called 
into the Captain's office and was told my promotion was being rescinded 
because of Affirmative Action... the promotion numbers didn't come out 
right and I had to step down for someone who didn't qualify with the 
scores I'd worked for and achieved... So I said screw it and decided 
to do something else with my life." 
I'm only sending this out conference mail as I'm certain some LEO's 
out there might have a word or two about this. If you wish to 
continue let's do it in netmail, ok?
Life is what you make it D.E. Sometimes you get what you deserve and 
sometimes you don't.  
Keep in mind... the above sentence has a double meaning.
