    We didn't really need an example of a kid with a simplistic world view, but good job anyhow.

    None of your complaints are new. Your just butthurt the crookedest candidate ever didn't win. Go to the proctologist and get over it.

    Those numbers are ignoring the pot exports. All three states number one cash crop.

    Are they supplying robots with spatula attachments?

    Otherwise, just toys for the boys.

  4. Linus Pauling.

    He screwed up his legacy trying for a third in medicine. Vitamin C nut in old age.

  5. You should ask me about 'Women's studies'.

    They asked me to leave when I asked to see the nurseries, sewing rooms and kitchens. Drove me out with hostility.

    I didn't even get to see the Kegelcizer weight machines or cheer on the ping pong ball shooting team.

    You should always go to outsiders to get the answers (you want).

  6. Stating the truth has ALWAYS been dumb in some circumstances.

    Pick your battles. Nobody has ever profited from 'No, those _pants_ don't make your butt look fat.'

    Learn to lie convincingly. Do it today. Practice on unimportant things. Lie a lot.

    All truth is 'socially constructed' (so I'm told). Just construct your own 'truth'.

    Anyone without power backing on a board, better vote as they are instructed.

    Many boards have exactly one opinion that matters, sometimes he's not even on the board.

    Quota based seats will virtually all be of this type. Serving 'at the pleasure' of the chairman, who has a signed, undated resignation letter from all on file.

    When we switch to a pony based economy, we will go back to using whale oil.

    We'll extract it via whale liposuction (whale couches, video games and fast food).

    If you believe that, you are nuts.

    Some members of the board, control or are backed by large blocks of stock. Others are filling a seat. They all get one vote, until the next board election...the seat fillers better watch their steps, if they want to remain.

    Being a public company is far too expensive for a startup.

    When you go public, you incorporate in Delaware anyhow.

    Not wives, GFs.

    Why would they spend time with their wives? Half the point is to send money to the young hot one without the shriveled up one knowing.

    The two remaining California corporations become Delaware corps.

    Every smart company that's big enough to cover the lawyer bills is a Delaware corporation.

    Name a tech company commonly associated with CA, odds are very good it's DE.

    Worse than that. Peter principle says 'the older an organization, the higher a % of the people will be operating at their level of incompetence'.

    The US federal government is closing in on 100% at their level of incompetence. Only the Machiavellian players are competent, at all. That 'competence' is due to the side game they are playing and isn't helping.

    By that argument, 'politicking the central committee' or ' bribing the congress of cardinals' is a 'meritocracy'.

    It's sort of true if you 'squint' at the question hard enough. But _everything_ can make that standard.

    Getting on boards is about having the 'trust' of institutional investors. Which you can only do by building a successful corporation or going to prep school with them.

    That and what leftist say about jews/Israel.

    But who's counting.

    Marx is the closest thing to an intellectual philosophical core the leftists have. But Marx is idiotic and has _failed_ the test of historical predictions.

    We'll stop hanging the moron about leftist necks, when they stop repeating his fallacies like they mean something.

    Why are female race drivers so _bad_?

    In 'Indy car', where they have 'jockey' sized driver rules (minimum weight if for the car, not car+driver like in F1), Danica Patrick should have had close to a 1 second/lap advantage, just from being so small.

    If she was as good a driver as the men, she would have rarely lost.

    It's UC Santa Cruz, that ain't 'grass' they're eating. The deer are stoned.

    For myself, I just assume they're stoners when I learn to went to Santa Cruz. Like Perverts from Berlin, you'll rarely be wrong.
