"Secondly, 25K an hour seems a bit excessive for any type of work no matter how hard."

Which brings another thought to mind: Those with more money almost always have more power. This allows greed to rule business and politics. I'm not saying rich=bad. I know more poor people who are "bad," (thugh I would argue it comes more from their environment, though they do have that persoal choice always) yet when the playing field of power brokerage is based upon something so arbitrary as monitary status, this allows the self-centered, anti-social, greedy to do things like hike up power costs and laugh about it over the phone. And yet socialists are called names while "good hard working" capitalists like those are rewarded unless they get caught. I'm no communist and I tend to prefer the libertarian view of things, but frankly, people suck, and until we account for this fact of human nature and impliment measures which accurately reflect our democratic ideals, the self-serving ignorant will have more power than the other-regarding ignorant (we're all ignorant after all).

Anyway, i'm rambling, but I hope my meaning wasn't lost through my poor expressions. Take care folks.
