It occured to me the other day that life is a lot like "Blood Diamonds"

Yup.

And, for that ya need mad skillz.

Seriously, I feel as if many that make this argument refuse to put in the time to "pay their dues", as it were. You pay the cost to be the boss and then you're the man, as Kex puts it. If one chooses not to make that investment then one gets what one deserves I suppose.

It should also be noted that the US Government allows millions of dollars a year for small business grants and loans for entrepeneurs. I know because I've used 'em. The opportunities are there, you just have to grab them.

I sympathize with the plight of a lot of people. Certain skills and talents, even personalities aren't always rewarded by the system efficiently or fairly. Grants and loans help entrepreneurs, but that's not for everyone. There's only so much government can do though I suppose.

True so true, but it hasn't always been wine and roses. I needed bigtime help after my "Gator-On-A-Weck" franchise went under.

Congrats on 7k.
