Just so you know, there are about 6,973,738,000 other people in the world who work for money. I don't want you to feel all alone. Not only that, but if you won't take care of yourself, who will? Anything someone or some organization gives you, can take it away and sooner or later probably will. Frankly I am totally amazed that the group has been this patient. Andy must be a saint. Your Drs and pills are not about photography. I would suspect most of us have at least some debt, and to pay it we work for money. Some might even be in debt for a camera. Some might have to go to work and use a camera. After a while they find that what they loved so much is now a chore. They have to do what they are told not what they want. It is my opinion that these types of post are inhibit the flow of posts about photography. This is a resource I find valuable and if the post were about photography, the no matter how off base I might think an idea to be, its valuable. A free exchange of ideas isn't just for the ideas with which you agree. I could take each of your points part by part and discuss them, but no one would want to hear that. This is a photography group Dr, and a political discussion from me is just as bad as from you. Just because no one responses to argue doesn't mean you have convinced them of anything or that they agree with you. Its much more likely they have just hit the ignore button.
