Now John... <g>

Mike's a good guy. Perhaps he needs to read Nicolo Machiavelli's "The Prince", but he's ok. <g> This is the idealism of youth and I see nothing wrong with it whatsoever, other than it's not where it will end up. My hope and prayer would be that he does not become cynical when the more difficult events happen.

I honestly believe, think and feel that Mike's intentions are correct and, quite frankly, the kind of life's lessons that will be sufficient enough to instruct him in matters such as this are really not something one would wish on another in an arbitrary fashion.

The lesson here in my mind is to learn that one's intentions should never be confused with one's judgement. Don't lose the good intentions but learn about good judgement.

Best,

DD
