This is very complicated in that there will be a certain amount of people in power to do or not things and I think they have many reasons to make correct decisions.However correct as relates a maverick cannot always be applied. For example, if a person has the creativity to put his personal wealth on hold and work towards a common advancement,should he be pillaried and distracted at every turn.Let not this new turn of self -critizem poison even those who've spent so much to arrive at a point at which they cannot proceed.
