Knowledge should be earned.
i very much agree, but do not lose sight of the fact that not all knowledge is learned by doing..the elders and experienced ones in a given tribe are a resource who should not be overlooked. to have a community that is not about fostering knowledge is a shame, we cannot forget that we are here to learn and teach ultimately....and enjoy that fine bikini thread

"learn from the mistakes of others...you will not live long enough to make them all yourself"
