A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $100 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $100 bill?"
Hands started going up.
He said, "I am going to give this $100 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up.
He then asked, "Who still wants it?"
Still the hands were up in the air.
"Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.
He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air.

"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $100.
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way.
We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. You are special - Don't ever forget it!
Now have you lost your value? I don't think so..........

God Bless you for asking this question. many people as we communicate merely pooh-pooh such questions and say, "properly it is united states of america." BULL! it is not united states of america. The stats you're analyzing are relating to the loser whites, blacks, and Latinos who've a value-efficient explanation for having little ones. the government has made it worthwhile to have as many little ones as posssible. We conservative individuals have allowed the liberal faction of our society to take over the actual purpose of our being. they have desperate that united states of america is desirable served by utilising its government whilst we conservatives comprehend how incorrect it is. we've not easily started the combat to regain our ethical values yet, yet I easily have this poor feeling that the only way we will ever regain our united states of america is thru a bloody revolution. and that i will inform you that as long as i'm alive, i will combat against our Dictator-wannabe Obama. i comprehend he capacity properly, however the line to hell is paved with sturdy intentions people.

Thanks for sharing. It's a really good lesson.
Since there are two kinds of value - intrinsic and face-value, I feel those who live more by their face value are at a risk of losing the value more easily. On the other hand, those who live by their inherent qualities, i.e. intrinsic value, have a better chance of buoyancy and survival even against worst odds.

Well... would you buy milk way past its "sell-by date"? I don't think so. I am past society's point of being young, fresh and valued. When one gets older, my experience is that one becomes part of society's garbage.
