Bill, your idiocy is almost to much to stand sometimes.

Let me ask you a question. If Helen Keller had not had those afflictions, do you think you and I would have ever heard of her? Do you think she would have gone on to impact the world, especially the world of the deaf, dumb, and blind -- the way she did through the portal of her afflictions?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's see, would anyone in the world want to be struck deaf, speechless, and blind so that the "world would hear of them"? hmmmmmmmmmmm-NO. You have no idea what would have become of her, none at all. IF you think it's so grand why not expose yourself to something that would give you the afflictions she had?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Never heard of the woman you mentioned but she sounds nuts.

I have a small plaque I keep on my bookshelf. It reads: "Happiness Is NOT Getting What You Want; But Wanting What YOU HAVE." And, that, my Friend, is not a bad way to live this brief mortal life.

Why, at the age you and your wife are, are you still chasing after that almighty dollar if you're not wanting and trying to get more?? You can dress it up anyway you want and put a big ribbon on it, but still, it is what it is. A horror story.
