I think you miss my point entirely. I said society rewards genes, beauty,
wealth and luck. You want society to recognize your contribution with the
same zeal it has for them others. Get over your resentment, Son, it's
getting in the way of your reading.

Doctors and lawyers are just as infatuated by celebrity as the rest of us.
The belong to the same stupid society that you don't.

When I was a kid, we lived on a farm in northeast Arkansas. We raised
sheep. I know sheep. And you, my friend, are no sheep. So don't be bad
mouthing no sheep, I'm warnin' ya. Sheeps is king of the animal kingdom.
And they're cute.
Relax, Andy. Remember Joanie's song: "Be not too hard for life is short and
nothing is given to man." We're ALL stupid. Even Democrats.
