And if you read her CP's article, I bet she would look at you like you had a third chromosome

Lack of opportunity is the one thing you hear from every young person in third world countries, even some of the ones that are politically connected

"Was that like, your strong finish or something?"

We Ran Out of Money, and other honest answers

It's too bad we had to read those at all. Ignorance in the extreme.

Great post Mike but you know it's just another anecdote. What we need here is AI, and more cowbell :)

C'mon Uncle Wong, what kind of evidence is that :)

Oh boy, this is easier than it should be :)

I sure do appreciate the compliments :)

Okay just trying to be helpful here, when matching wits the goal is usually to disprove the other's point :)
