>(Whew!  A little harsh there, JoSH!  "No vision"?  Not everyone WANTS
>to be a selfmade billionaire....)

*humph*  (sound effect of air pushed out, no vocal cord use)

The same people who dream for immortality don't know what to do with
themselves on a sunday afternoon.   The crowd that doesn't know what
to do will not know what to do.  I wish they would get out of the way
for those who do.

Those who say "__________ cannot be done!" will not do it.

EVERYONE on this list has access to more raw power, more information,
better food, better housing, more comfort,....  than any of the Roman
emperors.  

Those who don't want to march ahead: feel free to sit in the mud.
