They don't do that exactly. They see read as way to get ahead in life through volume. "The more I read the more I know" is what they the feel.

Do whatever you want. I just pray to God, or whatever, that you find someone to live life with who has similar beautiful objectives. Mine: to find a wife, make her my religion and everything I believe in and do is for her. and to live by the ocean with her. However I'll end up in some dead-end middle-management job making money and unhappy, yet happy, voting the complete Republican ballot and dying with money in the bank and undealt with stress in a rural New York town just like the idiots I hate God I hope I find the right woman. -Carl _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
