as long as monetary gain is how we measure success in the world, I do believe
I will have to call Third Wave a Major Success.

I see too many Mothers of Daughters Proud of the money their children make in these types of industries.

That is their right, seabeyond.

That is where they are.

That is what they want their children to aspire to be. That is all they ask of their child. No more. Child does not need to grow and develop the mind, the personality, the talents. Make the money fast while you are still young, nubile and pleasing to the eye.

That is how they are raising their children.

It is all about the

Money.
