 RB> Yes, but isn't it ignorant to *try* in the face of ridiculous odds, an
 CS> It's ignorant to consider the odds insurmountable.
 CS> When I was 5, an accident placed me in a wheelchair.  When I was 8, I
 CS> walked free of it forever.  I wasnt ignorant.  When I was 9, I was
 CS> temporarily blinded for 6 months.  I did not know if it would end, nor
 CS> did the Doctors, but I went to school and learned to listen well.
 CS> When my sight came back fully, I was not behind.  I was not ignorant
 CS> because I used what I had, to the best I could.  Had I stayed blind, I
 CS> would have done rather well I think.
 CS> Convincing yourself to *try* is 90% of the battle.  Been there, know
 CS> the story. Yes, sometimes you get knocked down, but you get back up
 CS> again and sallay forth yet one more time until you DO get what you
 CS> want.
Carol,
I just wanted to say that for my money, the world is a much better
place because you are in it. Can't quite say the same for Ryan.
 CS> Whats wrong with capitalism?  It means those who try and get back up
 CS> again after being knocked down, have a chance to get someplace.  Any
 CS> other system, has the ones who work hard for what they want, paying
 CS> for those who arent even trying.
Amen, amen, amen!
Best regards.
