Hello Richard,   
      
    RW> "The gross national product does not allow for the health of our children,   
    RW> the quality of their education, or the joy of their play. It does not   
    RW> include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages; the   
    RW> intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public   
   officials.   
    RW> It measures neither our wit nor our courage; neither our wisdom nor our   
    RW> learning; neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country; it   
    RW> measures everything, in short, except that which makes life worthwhile."   
      
    RW> -- Robert F. Kennedy, 1968   
      
   I'll agree with that.  The economy is for the person, not the other   
   way around.  Can't buy me love any more than the Beatles could.   
      
   Bobby Kennedy used to always keep a small notebook with him at all   
   times.  Whenever he would run across a thought or a quote of something   
   he found profound, he would write it in his notebook.  After his   
   untimely death, one of the Kennedy's (I forgot which one) published   
   the contents of that notebook.  I have it somewhere, but would take   
   forever to find it as it is in storage.  A very small hard cover book.   
   Probably still in print.  RFK's collection was not about any specific   
   field or area, such as politics or religion.  More like a collection   
   that was a reflection of his private thoughts.
