What medication gave you the same benefits as weed, if you don't mind me asking?

My experiences very closely match yours, fwiw. I tried Ritalin but wasn't satisfied at all, and am 'back on' weed.

>20% (y(.2)(.2)(.2)(.2)(.2)) have prepared themselves enough to achieve some measure of success

What does this prep entail? What more needs to be done apart from having the motivation,starting and finishing building the damn thing?

I think I'm missing your point about "dignity".

As per your sentiment , we should all be doing whatever we can to restore dignity to those that need it.If you ask that of Kamen , you should certainly ask for it from yourself.

You are presumably reading this on a computer you own , and drive to work on a car you own. You can increase the dignity of a number of people by selling both and donating the proceeds to a worthwhile charity. ( I can think of few things more dignified , than say , for a starving kid in India to be able to go to bed with a full stomach for one night). And charities like giveindia.org make this very possible ...

And yet you haven't ... You might argue that there is no way you could do without either.

How is Kamen's "indulgence" in building a Segway any different? The starving people would be annoyed with you too,as you indulge yourself with luxuries like cars and computers , when they have to debase themselves just to feed themselves and their families.

(No offence intended. :) When I say "you" , I mean us )
