    Not the same. The radical leaders of the group you saw in 1971 died soon thereafter.

    Look at Chicago's album jackets in that era calling for revolution. Americans disappear for saying that. Nowadays, the word terrorist has replaced the word revolutionary.

    It's kind of human nature, is it not? For a short time in my life, right after my dad died, I was a trust fund kid. Truly it was a bad deal insofar as motivation goes. Yeah, the money was fun, but I was a slacker.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    It can be. It depends on situation and personality. Most athletes are insanely self-motivated people (you almost have to be to make it through all the barriers to entry) and that doesn't change (usually) just because they get paid.
