THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: From Robert Heinlein:

    Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances
    which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then
    — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised,
    often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking
    people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as
    sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip
    back into abject poverty.

    This is known as “bad luck.”
