[Jack Jones]

Let me see if I got this right. Most of you have your education paid for by the taxpayers. Most have corporate sponsors paying tens of thousands of dollars on your team. You have teachers, engineers, parents, and volunteers donating their time. You have the ChiefDelphi forum, and you use it to complain that the rest of the world owes you even more because you are special.

Meanwhile, as we all have observed, many, if not most of you, have a cell phone, a laptop, and/or an I-Pod to keep you entertained and in touch with all who are special like you.

Never mind that the entrepreneur has their own mouths to feed and taxes and insurance and employees and a mortgage, they owe you a break on the outside chance you will cure cancer or aids or eliminate world hunger.

The webcasts and the websites come streaming for free into your 3.4 MHZ Pentium 4, with dual 100 Gig drives, water cooled, and the obligatory neons- so why should you tolerate the injustice of having to pay to park your Beemer.

Of course, I exaggerate – but some of you need a reality check! You have soldiers your age protecting your freedom so that you can play robot games. Their spouses and parents back home pay to park every day.
