don - i'm trying to point out that my son, william, you me or anyone else really are just people doing the best we can with what we have. i am sure my son would not be able to fly a helicopter as he's not had the training (he could manage the smiling and waving bits though) but would william have the ability to get by on £65 a week and still be a positive and resourceful guy, making every effort to find another job and making his own music while volunteering in the community. nor could william teach him anything about music (he worked for years in record shops) - probably we would differ about who is more useful to society as a whole. but i would take music as far more beneficial than monarchy or military.
