Why then is there so much resentment? It seems to me that they epitomize the freedom to succeed that we value so much. I'm not saying that there is resentment on this forum, quite the contrary, but I have sensed it here and especially in the book. I for one am darn glad that they accomplished what they did and can't wait to get my share of the kool-aid!
AMEN to that Trish Crocker!!! It's what's known as the American Dream...what the Morse family did! I heard a local person say that T.V. brought alot to this area as it was so 'depressed' and it gave it a lift to it's economy!!! That being said....I'm glad that the Morse's did what they did and we have the privilege of being a part of it, by living here. I haven't read the book but may sometime---I can't comment on that part til I do!!
