People, who thrive on the thought that every step they take is immense agony, and are floating somewhere in the clouds in their self-righteousness for being the only ones who have to suffer such torture.<br /><br />Not many, but some.<br /><br />But I know a lot of people, who find excuses for people, who won't lift a finger to learn new skills. They want to do it the hard way so they can have something to complain about (it's not that hard to learn to use Vista — or jump straight to Linux, which is something that is very doable these days; I did it without any real effort, and am learning that even moderate skills can make you very proficient administering a system, where everything can be automated and configured).<br /><br />Anyrate, I think you are right in your thoughts that some of those workaholic independents can be persuaded to accept help by appealing to increased productivity. And in any case, after that, we could know it's only their pride that stops them.<br /><br />But this brings us to the general principle of helping people to help themselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-53058607505504550382009-12-23T21:44:11.348-06:002009-12-23T21:44:11.348-06:00Looks like a fascinating movie.
