yep.   people's needs are debits.  my dad was an accountant, doug, so i 
know exactly what you mean.   not that kind of accountant, though.   he got 
railroaded for exposing corruption, embezzlement, etc., in US air force 
contracts.

i turned to the lady and said "that's exactly what they want us to 
do."   poor thing; she looked shocked.   if i'd had time, i'd have stayed 
and tried to cheer her up a bit.
