tsk tsk...oh never mind....i've already spanked you..:). anyone who lets those on govt dole out compete them are bound to lose. the world is full of success stories of those that had nothing, got nothing and made something. raging impotently at those who are given something and may or may not make anything is very ineffective. to whit. my little brother has a degree in liguistics after being in the army after high school, played jazz piano for a living while his kids starved. he bought a computer, taught himself html etc and in 6 years now makes 150k a year with his own consulting business. ( more than i that dog!, that's what i get for lecturing him about success ;) ) and no govt programs were required. his kids now eat well and that is all he wanted. funny to hear "youth" complain about affirmative action. it was designed to help people of my generation. they complained as well. it didn't stop me, it didn't stop my wife, it doesn't stop my daughter and it won't stop my son. success or failure is 90 perspiration, 9 percent inspiration. i'll give a 1% head start to those who need it or not. I can compete and i don't have to win to have a good life, just finish.
