Think about this:
As I watched the news coverage of the massive flooding in the Midwest with over 100 blocks of the city of Cedar Rapids, Iowa under water, levees breaking, and the attention now turned downstream for when this massive amount of water hits the Mississippi, what amazed me is not what we saw, but what we didn't see...
1. We don't see looting.
2. We don't see street violence.
3. We don't see people sitting on their rooftops waiting for the government to come and save them.
4. We don't see people waiting on the government to do anything.
5. We don't see Hollywood organizing benefits to raise money for people to rebuild.
6. We don't see people blaming President Bush.
7. We don't see people ignoring evacuation orders.
8. We don't see people blaming a government conspiracy to blow up the levees as the reason some have not held.
9. We don't see the US Senators or the Governor of Iowa crying on TV.
10. We don't see the Mayors of any of these cities complaining about the lack of state or federal response.
11. We don't see or hear reports of the police going around confiscating personal firearms so only the criminal will be armed.
12. We don't see gangs of people going around and randomly shooting at the rescue workers.
13. You don't see some leaders in this country blaming the bad behavior of the Iowa flood victims on "society" (of course there is no wide spread reports of lawlessness to require excuses). Re: Iowa vs. Louisiana: Where are all of the Hollywood celebrities holding telethons asking for
help in restoring Iowa and helping the folks affected by the floods?
Where is all the media asking the tough questions about why the federal
government hasn't solved the problem? Asking where the FEMA trucks (and
trailers) are?
Why isn't the Federal Government relocating Iowa people to free hotels
in Chicago?
When will Spike Lee say that the Federal Government blew up the levees
that failed in Des Moines?
Where are Sean Penn and the Dixie Chicks?
Where are all the looters stealing high-end tennis shoes and big screen
television sets?
When will we hear Governor Chet Culver say that he wants to rebuild a
"vanilla" Iowa, because that's the way God wants it?
Where is the hysterical 24/7 media coverage complete with reports of
cannibalism?
Where are the people declaring that George Bush hates white, rural
people?
How come in 2 weeks, you will never hear about the Iowa flooding ever
again? |

And no I never called you a rare monster. Newton was a rare monster, Leibniz was a rare monster, Turing was a rare monster, etc...
I was never talking about students around me or even my professors, but from those I learned from. The ones who wrote the books and developed the subjects themselves.
But great way to stroke your ego. |
No, no. I've learned a major Life lesson from Martial Arts.
"Fight without Ego"
I use this in every aspect in Life.
That's one reason I'm successful. |

Who said we were fighting? I was just saying the only thing I learned (besides a bunch of math)was that I'm capable of a lot more that I thought (I think this applies to everyone), but beyond that there are a few rare monsters. But it was very egotistical to think I was talking about you when I was referencing the titans of natural philosophy, but I'm sure you were just joking. Congrats on your success though. And like I said everyone has their own definition of success. For some it may be getting a bachelor's degree and working for a corporation, for others it may be nothing short of getting so filty rich they never have to work again. But don't think the latter group is being egotistical or condescending just because they don't want to settle for what most people view as a 'good life'. |

| Why be a corporate slave your entire life when you can work for yourself and make at least as much if not much much much more. It isn't about being filty rich it is about not having to deal with the rat race and tread water to keep from drowning the rest of your life. |
