No, not really.

See my previous post on the subject. It has relevance, but not in the way you think.

Hey, I get it, tsquare. You think we're just leaves blowing in the wind of the free market. I'm completely with you on the concept of the free market and capitalism, but not on the whole blowing in the wind thing. What you fail to understand is that the free market is full of people who see opportunity where others see nothing. That's what made this country great... people who were not content with saying something couldn't be done just because it hadn't been done before, or giving up just because they suffered a setback.

So since I know you are a free market, capitalism believer (which I am too), the only thing I can figure out about you is that you are far enough along in your career that you don't want to rock the boat at this point. Basically, you've disengaged from the free market and capitalism when it comes to our profession. You're willing to give up and just let the chips fall where they may so you don't have to take any risk. I just don't understand how you reconcile this with your fundamental beliefs. Thurston Howell III would be disappointed in you...
