Life is not fair

Bill Gates' eleven things that school does not teach? How did he select just these 11 things? Shocking!? From a Harvard dropout to those who actually had finished school. To tell  some students that Life is  not fair- get used to it is pretty harsh.  Maybe true, but the school should educate  to strive to  fix this not fair. For everybody. Not to get used to it.
But then found out that Gates did not offer these 11 things. I was quite disappointed. It had matched my opinion of Gates.
It took him years to start giving to charity. But he knew some things about business that school doesn't teach.  That the other geeks did not know and even IBM did not suspect he knew. When you start a business make sure you have an attorney. That is what his dad taught him.

no more bullying

Enough. So Romney did some stupid things as a teenager.  Enough. This is quite unprecedented, to dig so deep and so long....This is just the media playing out, the writers revengeful for some of their teenage frustrations. 

man of war

Saw Billy Bud at the Met. Opera without aria cannot be moving. the program notes describe a more moving action than one sees on the stage.  What kept me captivating was the nautical terminology. Thought that sailing kept old traditional words. Not so. Larboard?? Yardarm? Man-of war. Pressed sailor.
