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.
