And later learned there's no money in axe murdering. So, it's all good.Sam L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00996809377798862214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-31818778090209074932013-05-31T22:38:54.329-04:002013-05-31T22:38:54.329-04:00Two thoughts:

It is rather a bit of a crap shoot that they won't have some sort of special need and that we will call upon social services to help with those needs. Not sure you can draw a bright line here. To give birth could also be said to be generous with other people's money. <br /><br />Second, I fear you may be edging into the same error into which "bean counters" tend to fall. Those business executives who tend to focus on the bottom line numbers to the exclusion of other valuable metrics often tend to class employees simply and purely as a cost item. This completely ignores the fact that employees (citizens?) are value adders and value creators. The reason Acme Widgets can buy raw ore and gaseous helium for $1.00 and sell finished widgets for $100 is that some employees added value to the raw materials. Employees (citizens?) are truly, in this sense, investments which yield a return. <br /><br />This is speaking in the aggregate, of course. On any individual basis...well...you know the saying.
