Ja, I did mean prosperity, but it might have been kinda Freudian: to me
prosperity means owning lotsa property, so property ~ prosperity.  Either
that or I incorrectly wrote "prosperty" and instead of fixing it right, the
autocorrect changed it to property.  I should set my autocorrect such that
any time it sees something it doesn't recognize, it automatically changes
the word to either "money" or "sex."  The result will probably be either
what I *really* meant, or at least be funny enough to be a better
substitute.  {8-]

Thanks Keith.  I am often impressed with how well the modern version of EP
correctly predicts the actions of the masses.
