Touche, but the point I was trying to make was this. I don't want this to come off as a low-blow, and I'm certainly not accusing anybody here of being two-faced. But I've heard the argument before from people who say that they don't want to enter the business world, or climb the corporate ladder because they think that Corporate America is corrupt and they are more concerned with being ethical and doing good for the community. Yet many of these same people (not all, but many) do little if anything for the community that they claim to care for. Which begs the question that if you choose not to follow the rules of Big Business because you think it's evil and you are concerned with doing and being good, then why aren't you doing good works? Hmmm. Now, let me reiterate. The above paragraph might be construed as an attempt by me to take a shot at certain people here. Not at all. I'm just stating a phenomenom that I have seen from some people not on this NG. By the way, while Mother Teresa may not have personally had a lot of money, her practice obviously got money from somewhere. You can't feed and care for thousands without some kind of financial backing.
