Of course. I don't know who said it in this echo, but someone said: "Instead 
of
copying Bill Gates' software, you should be out BECOMING Bill Gates." Was

it is so easy? Or is that a right _reserved_ for certain people, determined 
entirely by luck and chance?

We are ALL living under the wrong economic/political system. Perhaps you can
