"Personal Effort"...what a refreshing concept. And "Accountability"...another refreshing concept.

Some of the folks who always want more and more money, and time...ought to re-read unrevised history....and look at the letters from Mr. Lincoln, who was schooled at home and in a one room schoolhouse. He, and most of that century, had some time, inbetween chores, and little, very little money.

Go to the National Archives site, and see many letters from people who were very well educated, and from very "poor-in-money" schools. Personal effort and accountability were important concepts. Still are in my mind.
