Well said.. I agree 100%, although I don't think any of these fools will take the time to read and support originality. Someone who plagiarizes (steals) then collects a $ from it (fraud), is acting on pure selfishness. Cares not for anything other than what may benefit them. It's so sad that they do not, as you say, appreciate the fact that they may actually have something to contribute to society. I am sooooo glad that I can sleep at night and feel good about myself regardless if my posts make .01 cent or 15 dollars. I enjoy the connection and the feeling of putting good out into the world..

I never did understand what can be derived from stepping on people or dazzling them with trickery in an attempt to get what one needs. Maybe they did not have someone in their life to teach them that there is no value in an easy dollar. No feeling of success either. I appreciate your post and I hope you get through to at least one person on the edge of selfishness and selflessness. :-D
