I have lived in Asia since 1980 and have owned and run companies all of that time. I am guessing I have employed over a couple of hundred Asian graduates in that time and can seriously conclude that most of them graduated through sheer rote learning and hardly understood anything More]]> http://www.mdgpledge.org/analysis-on-larry-summers-vs.-the-tiger-mom/feed/ 0 http://www.mdgpledge.org/a-commentary-on-israeli-soldiers-board-aid-ship/ http://www.mdgpledge.org/a-commentary-on-israeli-soldiers-board-aid-ship/#comments Wed, 22 Feb 2012 21:54:56 +0000 admin http://www.mdgpledge.org/a-commentary-on-israeli-soldiers-board-aid-ship/ Perhaps the media and most of the world has grown weary of Israel's resolve to protect itself. Life and the middle east would just be so much more pleasant and easy-going if only Israel would just roll over, admit defeat and stop surviving the world. It may not be apparent to everyone, but the recent activity More]]> http://www.mdgpledge.org/a-commentary-on-israeli-soldiers-board-aid-ship/feed/ 0 http://www.mdgpledge.org/criticism-on-republican-party-wins-back-supporters-poll-finds/ http://www.mdgpledge.org/criticism-on-republican-party-wins-back-supporters-poll-finds/#comments Wed, 22 Feb 2012 21:52:26 +0000 admin http://www.mdgpledge.org/criticism-on-republican-party-wins-back-supporters-poll-finds/ Republican participative leadership in Congress drove a wedge into the party when some who still are in Senate and House went for the pork and power play just like Pelosi and Reed. The Tea Party appears to be putting some pride back into the conservative movement.

I don't like the violence - especially the gratutious violence so common on the kick off return.

I do pretty well for myself, and if I was completely self-centered I'd be all for any and all tax cuts. I'll be hit by any tax increases, but I'm OK with it.
