Omega Man
please promise that if Rina Systems contact you and want the same technical
support & PR that you will give them VALUE FOR MONEY and make their products
work as advertised

>Yes, you may choose to live your life as a complainer, never achieving
anything yourself, "accomplishing" things only to the extent that others
(the real producers) see fit to humor you. But that is not the life that
you *should* choose. That is not the life that I want you to choose.
>
>Now, let us be clear: The complainer achieves nothing, accomplishes
nothing, produces nothing. He may attempt to inflict pain or guilt on the
value producer, as a beggar or moocher does, in a desperate effort to
convince the value producer to produce for him. But it is always the value
producer, and the value producer alone, who creates, dreams, inspires, and
achieves.

>Man has choices! He may certainly choose to live as a parasite - a
complainer, a maggot, a vampire, a looter, a beggar, a moocher - subject to
the whims of the value producer.
>
>Ah, but to live qua man (as man should) is something different. For man to
live qua man means to live freely and independently - to think, to produce,
to work, to achieve. Living as man should means living by the work of one's
own mind, not begging another to think for you.

>Yes, sometimes the beggar receives a nickel in his cup. Sometimes the
looter gathers stolen goods. But in neither case is he producing anything
and in neither case are we witness to man's life qua man.
