As for people "doing good", I prefer to call busy-bodies "do gooders". They go out looking for people to "help", and are usually very "Politically Correct". On the other hand, people "doing good" are those who see a problem, ASK THE PEOPLE AFFECTED WHAT THEY WANT, and muck in and help. As opposed to Politicians, who see a problem, come up with some solution that doesn't work, and then expect everyone else except them to implement it! Cheers, Wol
