Gee whiz, RSW. Isn't there room in your world for people become super rich through talent, skill, hard work and even luck? Take Henry Ford for instance. As far as I know, he did not steal from his employees or customers. He created a lot of well paying jobs for a lot of workers who were glad to do what he wanted done. And his customers were glad to buy what they made. And the government was happy to collect taxes on the whole operation. In other words, he created wealth. What's wrong with that? You want to execute HF for doing that? And in a previous post you said that you think a person who deliberately runs a stop sign should be executed also. Isn't there a middle ground for imposing punishments? I mean, what would you do for some really horrific crimes like murder, espionage, rape, etc?

Phah!

"The world is controlled by a small group of men to which no one I know belongs." Ain't life a bitch!

The majority of people are sheep, the few wolves out there get rich, the few that are neither wolves nor sheep simply do well enough, and like dogs on the porch, are content with what life passes their way. I think I fit into the third catagory.

woof! DLC

That effect is seen quite often, if you give the disruptive kid some responisbility and they miracously change.

I used to give lectures an AIDS awareness to school classes, using a slide projector (more than 10 years back now). I always asked the biggest rufian in the last row to do the projection. Worked like a charm, not only did they not disrupt, they actually listend!
