What is the price to pay for taking the life of a 'bottom of his
class'
young man? Who determines the value of a life? Who determines the
potential of that life.


Potential lifetime earnings.

Life is always precious and as sad as it may sound but the life of a
doctor is worth more to the jury than the life of someone who
dropped
out of high school.

Bill Gates, a college dropout.

The CEO's of many of the Fortune 500 companies never graduated
from college, yet they earn more than just about every doctor on
the face of the earth.

Why would that matter to you? You're not going to be the CEO of
anything of consequence. And the fact that some CEO's earn more
than physicians only shows how sick out society is.

Why? A CEO employs more people than an MD. A does more good for
society than an MD. Bad CEOs are weaned out fairly quickly, however,
the medical profession protects bad MDs in an attempt to protect all
MDs with the thinking that if they can get the bad ones then they
can get the good ones too. Good old socialist thinking at its best.


Your lack of understanding and intelligence never ceases to amaze.
You must be one of Loogie's many fathers.


Really? What is the value of your average GP MD type to the world? He
does nothing more than pass out pills and referrals.


Your lack of understanding and intelligence never ceases to amaze.

You demonstrate attitudes very typical of those who never did well in
school and resent those who did.


Doing well in school has nothing to do with being successful in life.
You equate education with success. Education gets you in the door but,
it doesn't keep you in the building.
