Raleigh,
Thanks for your thoughts. I appreciate your viewpoint, as well as everyone who responded.
Well, I just deleted a lengthy reply / rebuttal.
Instead, I've decided that I should channel that energy into manifesting abundance in my life, and take your advice about not worrying about the apparent contradiction in the unfairness which it seems would be the logical result.
You're right - who am I to question the fairness of the universe? If AFL philosophies make my life full of abundance, then I'm sure the message will in the right time spread to all those who are receptive to it, including the garbage man. I'll not fret anymore over all the rational ramifications and just be grateful enough to enjoy the abundance which enters my life.
Thanks to all again! Abundance to all
