Why ...I've always said it, but it bears repeating. Why do you always see poor folks with or yearning for expensive cars? It's because they think BUYING something will make them successful. Buying stuff doesn't do you any good. A technology purchase isn't any good unless you have a PLAN for it. Capital isn't any good unless you have a plan for it. You name it, if you don't have a plan for it, you will fail. We have shown we have NO PLAN over and over, ad infinitum, ibid. It makes my teeth hurt.<BR/><BR/>A shovel can't dig a hole, and Microsoft Excel didn't save the banks - it's not going to save us. <BR/><BR/>In four more years, things will not have changed. Literacy will still be poor. Drop-out rates will still high. Government will still be unwieldy and corrupt. And we will still not have rolled up our sleeves, owned the problem, and seized agency in our future. It's for others to solve: Microsoft, the Federal Government. The world owes us, doesn't it? Gimmie gimmie.<BR/><BR/>Guess what, though? <BR/><BR/>They don't really give a shit - not one bit.Jameshttp://jim.casablog.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11569206.post-20734000998544297182009-04-10T13:42:00.000-04:002009-04-10T13:42:00.000-04:00Jil,The problem is that Microsoft is NOT ponying u...Jil,<BR/><BR/>The problem is that Microsoft is NOT ponying up any extra investment. Those 640 million were announced a couple of year backs and they include payroll, rent, taxes etc.<BR/><BR/>Source: http://69.89.25.193/~armandov/?p=178<BR/><BR/>The larva is not only playing the fool's game you describe, he is trying to paint us fools as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
