We differentiate between the different Asians (especially here in Hawaii,) C, J, K, Thai, Filipinos...so why not Africans for that matter (I’m sure they would be curious about their heritage, too.)

Yes, capitalism is driven by self-interest AND greed. Too bad there isn’t more “Ben-and-Jerry Mentality” out there though (more concern for the cause rather than the self.)

[NOTE: a LOT of what a doctor’s income goes to is malpractice insurance. Don’t forget some of those who like acquiring there income in more creative ways.]

Oh, well...enough of this diarrhea of the mind...toodles, noodles! (Great website!!!)
