  1. Next time I read a blog, I hope that it does not disappoint me just as much as this one. After all, I know it was my choice to read, but I genuinely believed you would have something helpful to say. All I hear is a bunch of moaning about something that you could fix if you were not too busy searching for attention. Jaime Gelbowitz

  2. Virtually all of what you state happens to be supprisingly precise and it makes me ponder why I had not looked at this in this light before. This piece really did switch the light on for me as far as this topic goes. Nonetheless at this time there is just one issue I am not necessarily too comfortable with so while I attempt to reconcile that with the actual central theme of your point, allow me see what the rest of the readers have to say. Well done. Douglass Corvino
