Whether it is me or someone else, I want my dreams to come true far and above any profits that may be realized. In other words, I think in terms of what is better about life and not what is the most economical outcome. The dirty word of greed has been allowed to be so ingrained into our behaviors that it is almost blasphemy not to utilize profit from every action. This flawed human characteristic is advanced as a principle worthy of greatness, yet in it's application, greed has proven to not only be an illusion of greatness, it has also left a very real path of destruction to those whose trust was most egregiously abused. There are few winners and many losers when money and intellectual property are bandied about in ways that bring out the worst of our natures. It is not natural to create scenarios where the sneakiest and most ulterior of motives are advanced to gain financial advantages. Most of we hard working types believe that merit in equal ethical terms should have priority over the underhanded deceptive practices that are currently allowed. They say that ignorance is no excuse in the breaking of laws, yet ignorance to deceptive laws that allow for legal theft is encouraged through confusing the understanding of legal nomenclature. If the average ordinary person does not understand what the law is and someone else does, then that someone else has a decided advantage in how to manipulate legal proceedings to the detriment of those who are ignorant to them. Wealth is often the factor in who is aware of legal understandings and those with wealth most often are the ones who manipulate it to keep it that way. In other words, once in the exclusive club, let no others in, or as the inverse of this blog title implies, profit before dreams.
