Now here's why this statement makes no sense: We always pay people to do things we don't like doing. For example, changing your motor oil is a dirty, potentially dangerous job (hot used motor oil! carcinogenic!) but one time I bought the motor oil, oil filter, filter wrench etc. I ended up paying a mechanic 300 pesos to do it. I also did my own clutch cylinder replacement. I got it done!!! and got bleeding hands in the process. People always will pay someone else to do something that's too hard, or too unpleasant for them to do. Heck, we pay the government (indirectly, via taxes) to cart away our trash. We pay Malabanan to shovel our shit away. Following Joebert's reasoning, we should all be shoveling our own shit.. -- Orlando Andico +63.2.976.8659 | +63.920.903.0335 _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
