So... if someone is poor or made a bad decision you think they are basically trash? I don't understand that? I believe a little compassionate capitalism would be better served. Maybe that is because I believe we reap what we sow. Or did you believe if someone has a high credit line that makes them a good employee? (If that isn't what you meant please don't let me go misunderstanding you... but I think there is a time to give people a second chance. What about the people who were developers in New Orleans and had big debts? They have very poor credit... me thinks you is being a bit harsh here.) > > You also have to be able to market yourself to recap your investment. > > I think you mean others' investment in you - that includes creditors. Well you already stated that you did it without them. Then you say you can do it with them. Your right! And if more money is what makes you tick... them choose the road you like. (Someone community oriented like you is interested in more than money though. You have done many amazing things to share with us... so I KNOW you see more of a picture than that. Just saying you aren't stating in context what you truly believe.) > > Some creative business > > management my provide other avenues.

In fact, it's a good thing. I see more than money when looking at business. There are employees and customers. Not market shares and gladiators. When one of my customers looks me in the eye they see an open window rather than a decorated glass. It's about service not competition to me. Your approach works with some customers also... so don't abandon it on my account. (Like anyone expected that to happen!) Oh... yes there is something WRONG with "putting another shop out of business"... it's called people. And putting people out of work is not a good thing! Do me a favor. Rent "Braveheart" and watch it. When you get done... figure out why the word "heart" is part of the legends name. If you strip a persons heart out of the picture all that is left is stimulation. You will find as you get older it will take more and more stimulants to tip the scale. Where did we go wrong as a nation that we forget people are important... not just worthy of our attention.
