FD: I didnt say I was a farmer. I was just making an observation. While I enjoyed your analogy, there are other ways the story could go. My Dad always said there is always someone bigger. Perhaps, the hog in question gets slaughered for his value sooner in order to buy the bigger, better hog? Analogies aside, human history shows a different story altogether. One very important rule in life - nobody rides for free. Free is never appreciated and it will not strengthen those that receive it. I fact, find that those that survive through hardship using their own means become the stronger ones. I predict the majority of the funds will be wasted and squandered. Just my opinion. -RickG
