	EVERYBODY is dependent on others for something else. I think it 
best to be honest and admit that. Which of you have built your computers 
from scratch and written all their software from scratch? I mean, start 
with metal ores, crude oil, sand, etc. And do *everything* without 
studying what others had done. Because anything less than that is 
dependence on others.

	Since we are not likely to live in isolation with each others, 
why not make the best of it by making others dependent on us, as in 
providing stuff that others may find desirable. In this way, dependency 
can go both ways :-)

	I presume that this is sarcasm, and that you are an anarchist.
