Re: NBC Dateline & Rondal Gots' "Review firm"

What you are refering to under California Law should be considered under the
fedreal laws of "Entitlement" compensation for previoius years of wrong doing or
abuse. A correction of the numbers when sex codes are not equal. Will there be
divison and corrections to the sex codes since we failed to enter "illegal
immigation citizens" to the census count? Did we properly fail to subdivided the
ethnic orgins of John, Juan, Sally, and Rebecca? The Entitlement concept is
the "State Farm" has entitlement as they can not depend upon accurate data, either
self generated, or extroplated. Therefore they should be entitled to enrich their
risk management as depending on manufatured reports. Two hundred years ago the
sholars knew they possed the gift of God for intellect but lacked the health to
live beyond 22 years. The gift of heat transfer theory, proven and taught
internationaly, and the continued race for nuclear supremacy was written and
submitted in less than a years time. He knew the his life expetacy was short and
the purpose (gift) would either be either deliverd to a needy world or not. Short
changed, but yet he met the challange. We take our health for granted with our
gifts, and we use the term "entitlement" as to attemp to right the wrong. We trust
those who should not be trusted with our precious gifts.
