Me clueless? maybe on somethings, but I don't thiink this is it, I just
disagree with you. The only poor I live off the backs off is my grandparents
who left their repressive country for a free nation where inspite of
difficulty they were able to earn a living, and provide for his family. His
hard manual work in a free country enabled his sons to go to college and
make a good life for themselves. So yes, my level of comfort comes precicely
because my grandfather made the neccessary sacrifices to make them possible.
Energy from the sun is limitless, too bad we don't use it more, either way
it's getting expensive.

Why should anyone ban you, I feared when I started posting here that I would
get involved in some sort of immature name calling thread, but I have found
most of the responses to my posts to be insightful and well thought out
(Most not all :)). So please go ahead, tell me off, tell me how wrong you
think I am, that is why I post, you won't hurt my feelings, unless you tell
me my Moc's suck :).
