Yeah, well, no actually. Gambling is not a 'real disorder' any more than alcoholism is (i'm a recovering drunk who hasn't touched a drop in 14 years). In fact, all the science says that these are behavioral problems, which we all knew to be true anyway, it's just that the 'recovery industry', led by the AAers (who only can claim a 3-10% cure rate), has blackmailed the Read More
I don't know if AA selects the seats for their 737s when they place an aircraft order, or if they are a standard Boeing item.
All I know as an old frequent flyer is, that AA 737 seats are lousy. After an hour of sitting you have ways to relieve stress get up to relieve the pain. After two hours you begin to count the mi9nutes till the flight ends.
All A330 and A320 seats Read More
Hugh, the .0003% is not relevant to what I stated. Researchers use estimated population distributions to allow them to be able to give their research a certain degree of comfort level that the results are accurate within a plus or minus range with a certain degree of probability. So, with a sample size of 1,000 (assuming a randomly selected sample) they could say the Read More
This information is a contradiction to the past assumptions about power and nation-states. With this change in China, it is now indicative that the population of a state has a role in the economy and can strengthen the economy. This could lead to higher birth rates, especially in stage four post-industrial societies, where there is a very small talk topics birth rate. Read More
Ok bub, I was never in a fraternity, but it really sounds like this is a case of you being a sore loser. Emphasis on loser. Yes, fraternities give you a social advantage. So does going out and ACTUALLY MAKING FRIENDS. I have a vast social network I can call on. Not from a special membership in a an exclusive club, but from decision making skills friends with people from Read More
The amazing part of the last election was that people voted for Obama simply because he gave good speeches. He had absolutely NO experience in management skills or leadership skills list skills. He had NO experience in business. He had very questionable relationships with radicals and a crazy pastor. The specifics on the history of his education were hidden from the Read More
reaking? do they smell? This is one of the most polemical (and ultimately, pointless) pieces I've ever read. I pity Americans who are forced to read one-sided tripe from what is generally a trustworthy paper. There is not even an attempt at balance, and the argument underpinning the piece is driven by fierce emotional bullying ... dislike of a human in a important role.

Aye, it is true that there are some problems that are large eno need to argueugh, difficult enough, costly enough, and risky enough that they are economic losers in the eyes of private and commercial investors. But, it is invalid to point to them and then argue they represent the rule, rather than the exception. Or somehow argue that because those kinds of problems Read More
The problems with the professors and elites is that they have either never worked in the real world or they have forgotton how the real world works. The Fraud, emotional abuse signs and the waste is so prevalent and ingrained mainly because the laws are designed to be ambiguous and all inclusive so as not to be unfair to anybody that its very interpretation legalizes Read More
One of, if not the best piece I have ever read from you. I especially liked your memoir entry of Obama trying to decide how to approach his post election speech. It made me want to read the book. Wish you had written it. Excellent writing. Very engaging. But most importantly, I liked your explanation of it not just being the message, but also the messenger. Although Read More
