Re: Please Study Maslow Before you Decide to \"Go Pro\"

Oh, one final note: Certain illnesses by their very nature make it less likely for those who suffer from them to seek the treatment they need. A trivial example of this would be a social phobia:...

Re: If I had a billion dollars, I wouldn\'t give it to my kids.

Well Bill Gates has a hundred billion or so and is only leaving 10 million to his daughter.

Perhaps his reasoning is that no person needs that much, so why not give the rest to others who need it...
