[QUOTE="Bestoutwest, post: 1427010, member: 19397"] The difference, though is the welfare guy is just giving you your rocks back, but the trust fund guy is taking the rocks that his grandfather and father dug up, and is handing them to you. I think more of guy A pouring his water back into the pool while the rich guy is adding more water to it. And no, it's not fair that some people are born to rich families, or some folks are born handicapped, some are born stupid, and some super smart but with no motivation. All you can do is do the best you can with the hand your dealt, pay your taxes and die just like the rest of us. With my son, I would slow down while driving (where it was safe to do so) so that he could read street signs. He's been to a zoo, aquarium, we discuss basic science principles like gravity, the seasons, temperature, reproduction using the cattle as examples, etc. When he was almost 6 (he's a November baby), he skipped kindergarten and could have almost tested out of second grade. I'm not bragging, I'm just stating that he got lucky with the family he was born into. Is it fair that there were other children in his grade that didn't even know the hard "c" sound at the beginning of the year? No, but that's the knocks. [/QUOTE]
