    Craig, I read many of your posts, none was so pessimistic so far.


Ah, maybe I was being more sarcastic than the internet allows. I was intending to mock those ideas by quoting Scrooge, as I think that there is nothing further from the truth than the idea that character is completely independent from their circumstance - that people with no shoes can pull themselves up by their bootstraps or who have been born into a system of oppression can free themselves by belief in the free market or some such thing.
