	Your type is why we have a stinking, lousy educational system now!

	Set back and let someone else do the dirty work indeed! If this 
    attitude had been present in the 15-1600's the american indians would 
    probably be a lot happier but where would the world be today.
	Sit back and let someone else do the dirty work is why Japan is
    buying our country out from under us as we speak.
	Sit back and let someone else do the dirty work has always been the
    cry of the rich and affluent. Look at every once great civilization
    just prior to there downfall.

	Develop the robotic technology, but use it a tool, not as a replacement
    for the human next to it.

*&^ FLAME OFF **(&*&*((*

Have a nice COMFORTABLE day.
