<<People make large salaries because other people are willing to pay them large salaries. Why this fact makes people angry is beyond me.>>

I apologize if that came across as angry, it really wasn't intended that way. I am reasonably comfortable with my five figure salary, and I do donate a large amount of it to charity. But I do feel pain of many others who work so hard and can hardly make ends meet. I am in no position to help much, but there are many of you who are. Many of you could change the world if you just wanted to. But for the most part no one even cares, all that matters is getting more, more, more... It is so sad.

When I read these message boards, it feels a lot like the dinner scene from Titanic where the men after finishing dinner will retreat to the smoking room and congratulate each other on being Masters of the Universe.

You probably have no idea why there is anything wrong with a ceo laying off thousands of workers while paying himself a 1.25 million dollar bonus. Sure, there is nothing wrong with that, it is how this world is.

Most of you probably haven't a clue what I am going on about, that's okay. If there is even one person who reads this and gives pause to think about it then I have accomplished my objective.

And Kevin, one last thought. Have you ever wondered how difficult it is to get a camel through the eye of a needle?
