You&#039;re absolutely right, there&#039;s nothing wrong with profit.  I failed to pass on what Nat actually had to say about the topic.  Both because I was short on time, but because it wasn&#039;t the most interesting point being made.

It wasn&#039;t about not making a profit or that profits are evil.  Instead, one should enter into this type of venture without the expectation of profit.  He was doing it for the betterment of the children and that was the primary focus.  Profit motives, in this case, would have gotten in the way.

Although, Nat is from New Zealand.  As we know, those not from the United States are a bunch of communists who think profit is evil.  He did make a comment, which I didn&#039;t completely catch, about for-profit corporations not always having the best interest of their customers in mind.</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t profit? That doesn&#039;t seem fair. There&#039;s nothing wring with making an honest living - as long as it really is honest, and the product is genuine and positive. Profit isn&#039;t a dirty word.</description>
