Wisconsin

Despite the polls, was preapred to write Walker Walks. But he won decisively.  This is hard to swallow. But in reality these unions have gotten totally corrupt and corrupting. Unions in local government! But to cut their basic rights is not the proper way of combating corruption. Wisconsin had a reputation for citizen's involvement in civilized politics. Getting down the drain in a rancid smell of tea par..tisane.

Forever.....

Was sailing with a guy over sixty today, who told us at the end of the trip: I learned a lot today! Hmm. You see these people in their fifties or sixties saying: Oh, this is good for my resume. 
When does one stop learning. When does one stop adding to the resume? Learning is an old habit, difficult to stop....As to adding to one's resume. It is just a consolation.

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.
