I'm not vacillating at all. Here it is clear as a bell: Unless you have a handicap, got sick, etc, if you're poor if because of your own bad choices. Root cause of bad choice is 2 fold: 1.) Didn't know about the better choice (thus it seemed as if there were no choices), and 2.) Didn't want to make the right choice. Ever watch The Apprentice? In one of the first seasons they had to sell coffee and their budget was something like $50. The winning team made close to $5000 in one day. Selling coffee. $5000 in one day off of $50. Let's go to the Big Board folks and tally that up: 5 days/week x $5k/day = $25k/wk x 40wks/yr = $1,000,000/yr tax free. Ok. Let's be conservative. Let's say they only make 20% of that due to bad days, etc. That's $200,000/yr. Let's say supplies eat up 50% of that. That's $100,000 per year in tax free profit. From selling coffee on the street. Poor is a choice. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:227555 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
