I see no reason why it cannot work. I just find it sad that the only
incentive in today's world is money, and not pride, or fame, or the
pure thrill of success, or the feeling of achievement gained when you see
a private fantasy tuen into a reality.

Nobody believes in their dreams any more, only if they get rewarded with
the surrogate american dream of MONEY MONEY MONEY!!
it is a sad state of affairs.
