THAT and there is NO big business to keep the economy alive in those counties. Before Morse, people were raising cattle and trying to raise fruit off this sandy soil and since it was inland it wasn't much for tourism..

Three cheers for free enterprise and someone who works hard and becomes rich. The quintessential AMERICAN dream.

In this country, it still holds true. If you get up early and work hard and sacrifice and save and bypass instant gratification and worry... and if you have a very good idea, you will collect more money than you need, which to me is being rich.
