If we want results, that's exactly what we need, not just money, but a lot of dedication, planning and intelligence.

    ... headlines and regurgitating their crap. If you'd rather mantain the current ultra-reactive attitude, well, that's more immaturity than I care to handle. But I think there's value in just learning more about what you're dealing with here.
