I think pride in your work, no matter how menial or how important has been replaced with a pride for money-the root of all evil. There is nothing wrong with having money (I kinda like having it!), but putting it before all things creates the problem. That's why I like everyone here-kindness is shown without needing to be "paid". You need a doctorate in economics and minor in history, to figure out all of the reasons for our country's money problems-I for one can't get everything settled or sorted mentally. I never could understand why we let sone of our biggest assets (mfg) slip away from us. Well, enough reflection for now....:)
