It is. But I was thinking the other day this bank bailout is a
farce.

Why not do it this way. Pass a legislation that a bank MUST pay
it's debts and creditors or face immediate liquifaction.
Special chapter 7a if you will.

Absorb the bank, firing all senior management and board with
cause.
Jailing all officers of the bank. And I do mean officers of the
bank.
Good point. The SEC should be hiring 5000 auditors and
prosecutors right about now. Getting them trained up to go after
the fraud that has gone on. The billions GM Chrsylser want is
better spent in prosecuting corruption and incompetance.
When I got my first mortgage the guy making the loan pointed out to
me that he was an "officer" of the bank. I responded "oh." I didn't
bother telling him that anyone with a college degree and an IQ
above room temperature working at a bank is made an "officer" of
the bank.

Don't take this the wrong way, but instead of playing golf, you
ought to enroll in one of those high end weekend degree programs and
get yourself a college degree.
I don't need a college degree. I have done quite well for myself. I
have four sisters all with Bachelors degrees one with an MSN and two
with MBAs. They still haven't caught up to me.
It's not a matter of catching up, and in fact has nothing to do with
earnings.
Cost benefit analysis. The benefit of a college degree for me is not
worth the cost at this time in my life. There are others in my life who
will benefit from a college degree and that is where my resources
efforts are focused.
okay.
Bill Gates lacks a college degree. Hindered him I guess.
Gates is a very unusual individual. Bet that never occurred to you.

So are you an unusual individual. Liberal Arts Degree has not seemed to
help your social skills.




Still hiring illegals for your non-licensed handyman company?

Ah, perhaps if they were brothers?

I don't think so.

Perhaps you should consider a "good, traditional liberal arts

I have a good traditional liberal arts education, dummy; I never get
into shoving matches with the police.

Neither do I.

And what does my hiring or not hiring have to do with college degrees?
Maybe you should have stayed in college and gotten some social skills. Sign
up at the local junior college and you could work on both an AA and your
social skills.

Harry, you put too much emphasis on degrees and specifically your "liberal
arts" education as if it makes you superior in some silly way. Tons of us
have earned degrees. But, here's a few more "very unusual individuals"
who never got one, yet are either far more successful or have contributed
more to mankind than you or I could ever think of doing:


Michael Dell
Lawrence Ellison - (Oracle}
Paul Allen - Microsoft
Ted Turner - CNN
Thomas Edison - GE
Henry Ford - Ford
Steven Spielberg
Steve Jobs - Apple
Ralph Lauren
George Washington
Harry S Truman
Walt Disney
Buckminster Fuller
John D. Rockefeller
Orville and Wilbur Wright
Steve Martin
Abraham Lincoln
Charlton Heston
Peter Jennings
Elvis Presley
Paul Allen
Doris Lessing
Eddie Murphy
Jon Bon Jovi
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Lance Armstrong
Michael Moore
Al Sharpton
Britney Spears
Chuck Yeager
Eleanor Roosevelt
Ernest Hemingway
Frank Lloyd Wright
Jesse Ventura
Larry Ellison
Larry King
Rush Limbaugh
Ty Warner
Walter Cronkite
William Faulkner

Harry,
You have a college degree, well sort of considering it was from Univ. of
Kansas, and look how you turned out. I mean really.

I would suggest you go and get a good traditional liberal arts
education. No one would ever have suggested that Univ. of Kansas,
especially in the 60's, would qualify for a good liberal arts school.

The dribble that you try to pass off as rational thought shows no one
was wrong. Even if you did not have the smarts to get in a 1st or 2nd
tier school, you could have done better than U of Kansas. No rationally
person, living in the Northeast, who wanted to get a good traditional
liberal arts education, would pick Univ. of Kansas.
