I really hope that you are right holycow, but my sense of the world is from my experiences with people and companies. There are basically two things that drive MOST people, money and sex. In my world people generally look out for themselves and do what it takes "to get there" or arrive. Jaded? Me? In some instances you might have a good case for saying that about me, however, I just like to analyze the situation and tell it like it is.
I do not wear rose colored tints, and I tell the truth which really pisses lots of folks off at times. Outspoken? Yes!
Money has a funny way of doing funny things to people.
One word of advice, never count your chickens before they hatch holycow.
