Hmmmm,
Human nature, me first SELFISHNESS. Being a ham over half a century I 
have been watching
most of us becoming AO(appliance operator) Where did  spirit of ham go? 
BTW, all the kids in my
clan over here collectively decided to donate  10% of their this month's 
salary to the cause.
They are doctor, engineers, teacher. brothers, sisters, cousins, 
nephews, nieces. 2nd generation
Canadians, I am proud of them all.
