Hello Howard, not only did I work hard to get what I have, but I am also
battling terminal cancer.  If I don't spend lots of dough soon, I won't get
to enjoy it at all, Hi.

If you read Alan's earlier post on this thread, he graduated from MIT as an 
Aerospace Engineer.  Obviously this enabled him to land a good job and is 
now reaping the benefits for his hard work as a blind person.

One of are alumni, (now deceased), who graduated from the Illinois School 
for the Visually Impaired received a PHD in Nuclear Physics and worked for 
the federal Governments department of Nuclear Regulations.

My point, you need to get off your but and make things happen and not wait 
for it.

Not everyone can become a Aerospace Engineer or Nuclear Physicist, but 
everyone has the potential to do better than live off Uncle Sam and the tax 
payer.
