I think I can play this: Q: Why is so much valuable time wasted on insulting other people, instead of making money? A: "We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid."
Q: Why do folks turn away constructive criticism with a sarcastic snicker? A: "None but the well-bred man know how to confess a fault, or acknowledge himself in an error." Finally: Q: Why are there those who micro manage, those who play follow the leader, and those who have a vacation home in Juno Beach FL, a boat, a Jaguar XKR, 2-3 months of vacation per year, and a wife who is quitting her job to spend time on helping endangered loggerhead sea turtles, just because she can? A: "All mankind is divided into three classes: those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those that move." Giving money to sign holders is never a good idea, but when I handed a filthy bum a dollar fifty or so in change once without his solicitation, and he threw it on the ground in prideful ignorance, I realized then what separated him from me.
