that many of them have a lot of trouble coping with the simplest things in life. They find it better and safer to just pay taxes and have the state decide things for them. This subject got Friedrich Hayek a Nobel in Economics for his book, published in the '40's, called "The Road to Serfdom". It is available from Amazon.com for $8.76, with an introduction by Milton Friedman.

Maurice Winn: I'm surprised (?) that some are seeing the increasing gap between the have's and have nots created by technology. >As The Web gets going, the gap will increase quickly. Those who are adept at participating in The Web will do well. The rest [the average] will continue to improve but the disintermediated individuals are going to feel bleak. They'll be Luddites despising The Web and likely declaring war on It.< As in all revolutions, fighting is inevitable. The "techno" revolution is no exception. The degree and means of war are the variables. The speed at which it is going may be too fast for most to notice. Not only will the train leave the station, but most won't even know it was ever there. They will be thrust into a new world, similar to the Native Americans encountering the settlers (who were thrust upon). Hopefully, they (the disenfranchised)will not be left out or kept out this time. >On the contrary, stopping achievers makes all worse off.< BULLSEYE! Here's to an achievers day tomorrow. I guess we'll just have to drag the moaners and screamers along kicking and screaming the whole way!
