Well said, Vicky ...

You are absolutely right in that money, money, and more money are being thrown into this and it's not because of governmental control that we don't have answers. It's because it's not a viable option. If anyone thinks for just one minute that the rich and famous ... or the rich and unfamous ... haven't put millions into this area already, and it hasn't panned out, then they are sorely mistaken.

I also go back to one of my earlier messages ... if you think that socialism is
the answer, where everyone is treated equally, (and there are no moral restrictions put in place), then think again and go LIVE that lifestyle for a few years. What bothers me about some Americans is that their belief that they are "entitled" to something simply because they were born here in the U.S.

My husband went to 10 years of college ... and, yes, he makes a good living.
But if that incentive is taken away, what we'll have is a problem that a lot of Europe is already facing ... no one wanting to even go to college because they'll be taken care of either way.

I do believe that I am entitled to my belief, just as you are to yours, and as long as we do so in a respectful manner,
