Profit is the fuel of innovation. Without profits, companies wouldn't have anything to invest in R&D, exploration, etc. The more profits, the more innovation. Those profits are eventually spent, which creates jobs. I don't understand the wingnut socialists who hate profits. They don't understand economics 101.

Profits profits profits
by wanderlustguy inin business profit isn't a dollar amount at least not the way most people view it.
profitability is based on percentage of revenue and not how much money is in the bank.
yes, one has a lot to do with another however it is all percentages.. of course i'm talking about oil comanies, because they are being questioned about their profits.

I'm not a JW, but i've read a fair amount of JW stuff... but never an awake or watchtower. Are these available online? Is it possible to get copies without having to deal with JWs in person?

Is the Bible really inerrant?
by greendawn indo you think the bible is inerrant ie has absolutely no erroneous information or does it contain some errors?
if it does is its credibility destroyed?
i personally think that a great deal in the bible is false but still the basic ideas are correct.

Why is it that when leaves fall......
by JH ini have a neighbour that has many trees with lots of leaves on them.
when the leaves are all fallen on his lot, the wind shoots them on my side, and it whilwinds and stays here.. so, every year, i'm stuck to pick up the leaves of those who didn't pick them up on their lot and comes here and stays here, no matter how strong the wind is.
just a few days ago, i raked the whole lot and there wasn't one leaf left.
