Consider two options...              1. If you decline my offer, you might get fifteen million dollars and a life       of relative luxury doing what you love to do. Or you might get nothing and       work in retail the rest of your life. No way to predict, or even know the       percentages. Either way, I        get nothing.              2. If you accept my offer, you definitely get five million dollars and the       life of relative luxury doing what you love. I get ten million dollars and an       even more luxurious life.              I'm thinking I accept the offer, and since I know exactly what my options are,       I don't feel the least bit ripped off about it. (Obviously these numbers       aren't accurate, it's just a thought exercise.)              ron              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
