When people are free to pursue goals unregulated by presumed limitations on what they can accomplish, they just may manage some extraordinary feats through the combined application of native talent and hard work.

Yes, I believe Skip LaCour and Jeff Willet are natural.  Am I naive?  So be it.  In that case I wish that I was naive enough to believe that all the pros are natural.  Imagine all that I could acomplish then.  Some of you here think or KNOW these two guys are not natural.  Well, you won't accomplish much in life or get very far with that kind of attitude.
