c,

LOL.

That works ok if you average out $1.00 increments over 1 billion people. 
A bit different if say 365 days of one person's existence is reliant on 
the honesty of 12 people.
So I am honest and I pay my $1.10 debt for November to eBay... well, 
actually can't help it since they connect direct to the bank account.

We do believe people are basically good. We have known plenty of people 
who prove the exception. If they were all actually good there would be 
no lawyers?
Everyone has something to contribute. Be cautious what you ask for as 
you do not know what their contribution will be. You may not like what 
you get.
We believe that an honest, open environment will bring out the best in 
people and that we will be there with the best of people if we survive.
We recognize and respect everyone as unique individuals though some 
appear to consider themselves more unique than others.
Though we encourage the treatment of others as we wish to be treated we 
recognize that such kindly reciprocation may not be on their agenda.

In terms of the pioneers wandering around in Kentucky back when they 
were wandering around they never knew when they came upon any other 
person if the stranger was going to try to kill them.

I like that we all have different ways to figure out how to survive.
