              All that says is that many people are self-serving by Arachnid2007-07-03 19:09:05
                Welcome to reality and human nature. by esbita2007-07-03 19:54:19
                  And how would we do that? by Arachnid2007-07-03 20:00:56

                      And what point is that? by Arachnid 2007-07-03 20:06:57

                              That's what I meant. (n/t) by Arachnid2007-07-03 20:56:56

                                It's a *simple* analogy by subbywan2007-07-03 21:20:23
                                Just because it's simple doesn't mean it has to be by Arachnid2007-07-03 21:28:21
                                so you're complaining about poor math skills? by subbywan2007-07-03 21:37:42
