Default No offense to those...

....who weren't fortunate enough to be able to go to college. There are
plenty of self-taught, very smart people in this world. But we do have a
few real morons in rec.boats who didn't go to college and who express
their disdain for higher education every chance they get. Their jealousy
boils up in their throat.

I'm grateful for my liberal arts education and I often think about the
wisdom of my dad, who urged me to avoid "trade school" college courses
that he said would become obsolete in my lifetime. He was a first
generation American whose parents sacrificed mightily to help him get
through college, where he majored in the liberal arts.

Not that I believe you, as I don't, but a bugger all degree is nothing
to brag about. Just means you didn't have what it takes to become an
engineer, medical or some other degree requiring rationality.

If it is all Bush's fault, then how come Obama is doing much more of the

Thus confirming that you have no upper-level education...

Canuck has an associate's degree in single-entry bookkeeping...


Heeeeeeeeheeeeeee


Nothing wrong with single entry if you trust the accountant and have
budget controls in you head. But that is beyond numb-de-plum level of
thinking.
