For as long as I can recall I have been absolutly pragmatic. I simply could not believe in God because it was far from pragmatic. It was a mechanical universe to me, force and direction is what made things work. I saw suffering and made a desicion early in my life to dedicate my life to create a cure to suffering. I would study, experiment and work always to understand and come up with a mechanical method to end human suffering. This led me to attempt to try create a socio/economic system between a society with development and wealth and one with underdevelopment and poverty. I came to Chile and at the city of highest unemployment with a plan to make clothing for the wealthiest people in the world. The finest hand made clothing, that would require the most labor intensive work to employ as many as possible. I had a large sum of capital at my disposal. I purchased cloth, machines, a building and set up a shop for this purpose, I hired tailors and trained them on how to make these clothes I then in Atlanta build a shop together with my ex wife. She had a women's clothing store and opened for business. That month my ex wife sued me mainly because she believed I was crazy to throw my money away in this venture in Chile. We had a 15 year old child at the time, and since we had been divorced for for 13 years so this was a demand for money under child support law, no money was awarded to her but it did cause that I would not be allowed to see my child again till he was almost 20 years sold. I closed my shop in Atlanta and I closed my shop in Chile and went into a depression. A year later I reopened my shop in Chile and began making clothes again. I returned to Atlanta leased retail space and built a 3500 sq/ft store on the first floor of a seven story building in mid town. The month I opened the store the building owner is foreclosed upon and all the tenants loose their lease. I had to take my store down and put the clothing equipment and fixtures into storage. I returned to Chile and once again closed the shop and stopped making clothing. This year is also the year I meet my wife. She has helped me with my shop and the closing of it. We get married the following year. We beguin making plans to once again start up the shop in Chile and sell wholesale from Chile. My son came back into my life. He has alinenation problems, and is very rough with not only me but my wife as well. He is going to colledge at the Whorton business school. He writes a paper that basicaly discribes what we do in Chile, and it is so well acepted that his schooll funds him as an entrepenural project, he askes us if we would give him exclusive right to sell our clothes. We accept his proposal as it gives us a steady flow of work. He is not able to keep the agreement but also will not allow us to sell to others. We hemorrage money with emploiees making clothes and no income. once again we close our shop in Chile. About two years ago my uncle died and I was invited to his funeral
