RE: A USEFUL RESOURCE
I just picked up the July-August issue of your magazine in our local library and find it a very much needed magazine that I plan to subscribe to when I get my business up and running. I am planning to open a business to market to Baby Boomers and their families. The information I find in your magazine helps me very much. Thank you for starting this!

With reference to the article by Sam Pizzigati, what is next? An article by Osama Bin Laden on why the destruction of all that is good is good for all? Both are openly preaching armed robbery, hoodlumism and terrorism!

The problem arises when businesses are run by stockholders and investors that do not know first hand the nature of the business they own. Airlines are not run by pilots, mechanics, engineers, or even baggage carriers or ticket punchers. The same for IBM: How many technicians or programmers are calling the shots? America has been hypnotized by the notion that do-nothings and know-nothings can run the show.Since Bill Gates founded Microsoft, I have no problem with his acquiring wealth. As far as saying he was not original, just look at anything written for television or movies; most have so much in common, finding differences is the hard part. Also housing: Most houses have essentially the same design elements even when different builders are involved.
