Ways about the war. And so its very hard to its very hard to pin that down. But i really think that the kinds of evidence that im looking at, it is not just data.

So, success if and when it comes is going to come from various kinds of service work, areas kinds of greater customization. It is a tragedy that on one hand areare saying and you right, i understand why you are saying it that there may not be enough work to do. There areer hand, several million kids in this who profoundly need individual attention and mentoring of a kind they are not close to getting.
