[Grovenet] Greed and Corporations (WAS: Answer on 42.)

Nice...

I never mistook you for a "big screen" type <G>.

That's why I get cautious when the rhetoric gets close to over-generalizing
so we lose sight of individual differences.

I just had a really nice "trick or treat".  I opened the door for one  
little child and thought, "what a cute costume".  For some reason the  
adult had turned away and I didn't recognize them.

Then the voice said, "Trick or Treat, Grandpa!"  and smiled.

I knew the smile.  What a really pleasant surprise.

Yes, there are some things that raise the standard of living much  
higher than a big screen TV.
