Amen! I like the way you think! the mind is too great a wonderful instrument to waste any other way. as a Youngster I once asked my father (God rest his soul), why does work so hard? "work makes man honorable." was his answer, which I guess, I never forgot. Looking back I noticed how he also helped his fellow men. We stand the test of time on the shoulders of all our "giants."
Thank you for all your wonderful writing!
