There was also an interesting news story about charitable giving is at it's highest point.  I saw that on a Yahoo newstory. probably AP .. I couldn't relocate the article...
   
  Education was one of the top 3 (I believe) that folks contribute money too!

  Hey, folks.

There's an interesting story on the front page of today's New York Times
about a major poll showing that young Americans (ages 17 - 29) are leaning

Scott

  Hold on to what is good even if it is a handful of earth. 
   
  Hold on to what you believe in, even if it is a tree, which stands by itself.
   
  Hold on to what you must do even if it is a long way from here.
   
  Hold On!!!
