i appreciate the love and thoughtfulness of everyone here. I sincerely mean that.Even the people who dont like me, its all good, look at the bight side we are alive. its sad to see so many pool people pass away recently, we really need to be grateful were alive.
when the $30 is raised for me to be gold, you have my word that a huge multiple of that will go directly back into pool, in some form or another. I know this started out as a joke and it is funny as hell, but there is a serious side of it as well, the fact that people are willing to do something for me truly means a lot. Sure i have been very lucky in life, and when you get lucky that cuts you off from people doing things for you, it really does, its not the $$ its the thought. I know that sounds cheesy as hell but its the truth.
So thanks to everyone,
best

Social class (or simply "class"), as in a class society, is a set of concepts in the social sciences and political theory centered on models of social stratification in which people are grouped into a set of hierarchical social categories,[1] the most common being the upper, middle, and lower classes.
Class is an essential object of analysis for sociologists, political scientists, anthropologists, and social historians. However, there is not a consensus on the best definition of the term "class", and the term has different contextual meanings. In common parlance, the term "social class," is usually synonymous with "socio-economic class," defined as: "people having the same social, economic, or educational status," e.g., "the working class"; "an emerging professional class."[2]
The term "class" is etymologically derived from the Latin classis, which was used by census takers to categorize citizens by wealth, in order to determine military service obligations.[3]
In the late 18th century, the term "class" began to replace classifications such as estates, rank, and orders as the primary means of organizing society into hierarchical divisions. This corresponded to a general decrease in significance ascribed to hereditary characteristics, and increase in the significance of wealth and income as indicators of position in the social hierarchy.
I love to cut and paste too!!!:
Psychological projection was first conceptualized by Sigmund Freud as a defence mechanism in which a person unconsciously rejects his or her own unacceptable attributes by ascribing them to objects or persons in the outside world instead.
