				<description><![CDATA[I recently came to a realization that explains what appears to be a

				<description><![CDATA[IQ is built-in, and rarely changes much barring trauma. But the

encouragement, and so forth.

Another aspect of all this is how much "necessity" is in anyone`s life.

Rumpelstiltskin, 
I think I see where you`re going with this. If so, you`re saying that
