David:"Only those who do not know that a profit entails its equivelent loss can profit because in 'knowing' one cannot truly resent and, therefore, cannot shine in the psychopathic behaviour necessary to maintain success in their endeavours (it is only the rich who think they don't need the poor who are able to maintain their wealth... it is only those who can content themselves with all the 'now' has to offer that can hold on to their sanities invulnerably)." On the contrary, David, unless I am severely misunderstanding your portrayal of "wealth": Slaving away in your back yard garden, risking skin cancer, or in a recycled-window greenhouse, on property that you have control of until harvest time, can be work, but then, the benefits are moral, ethical, and worthwhile. Your zero-sum reasoning there seems to me to say that taking the sun's rays and some water on the compost heap and getting some tomatoes is somehow wrong and exploitive. In brief: Does David also mooch his "smokes"?
