		<description>Interesting to note difference between society that knows God is watching, versus a shame culture where it only is a problem  if you get caught. Republicans tend to think God is watching. Democrats lean to the as long as you can get away with it it doesn&#039;t matter. &quot;It was wrong&quot;, not I was wrong.  Or if we can cover it up it&#039;s OK. That is why you fire the IG.

This has significant results in things like tax paying, and following laws even when no one else is around.  The Chicago way instead of doing what is right. 

We live in interesting times.</description>

		<description>All,

I strongly believe USA is actually built on Free Enterprise which encompasses Capitalism.  Small business is the backbone of our economy.</description>

		<description>Mongoose,

USA recovery will be decided by its return to Adonai.  The principles of the Kingdom of Heaven are far superior to the best we&#039;ve incorporated into republics, democracies, monarchies, juantas etc.  Monetary and government systems built of principles contrary to the Kindom, shall not stand!  Not being founded in eternal principles, they can not.</description>

		<description>Capitalism is a great model. Capitalism without a moral and/or ethical compass gets you what we&#039;ve got today. If we can&#039;t or don&#039;t regulate our behavior as free people, there will always be someone happy to step in and regulate us for us. 
Secular decay....</description>

		<description>It&#039;s absolutely astounding what the enemies of liberty have accomplished with three words: greed, racism, exploitation. The pendulum will swing back (provided no too-efficient secret police get involved) and when it does, the pop cultural new answer to all three of those words will no longer be &quot;I&#039;m Sorry!&quot; but &quot;So What?&quot;

mongoose/54; that Chinese feller, every time he used Yuan to pay for dinner in that LA bistro, he got charged a different amount for the same dish. He finally got a little miffed and asked the cashier why that was. Cashier answered &quot;Currency fluctuations&quot;. Chinese guy replied &quot;Oh yeah? Well, sometime currency gonna fluc you Amelicans too!&quot;</description>

		<description>no mo uro

There was once a time when those humanities degrees where quite meaningful, and they also required reasonable mathematics course in order to graduate.

Repeated studies by the Pentagon  have shown that linguists and musicians tend to make the best computer programmers for instance. 

Of course, in those days they actually taught courses that focused on what is great (and difficult) in our civilization.</description>

		<description>Speaking as a lifetime private sector guy, I can say that yes, business will train you, but not from the ground up, and not over and over.  If you don&#039;t know the basics and can&#039;t think mathematically I&#039;m not interested in hiring you.  I don&#039;t care what your knowledge of pointillism or Moliere is, and I never will be.

Beyond having basic technological, math, and statistics skills and knowledge, when  young people ask me what isthe most important skill are when looking to succeed in private business, I tell them be the kind of person who only needs to be told ONCE how to do something.  It&#039;s been my experience that people in majors like you mentioned, RWE, are almost always incapable of that, not really sure why.

If all college was for you was beer drinking, chasing skirt, and learning about fun but not really challenging subjects (ie., something not math and science), then congrats on the vacation, but don&#039;t expect a prospective employer to be impressed.  Getting a bunch of A&#039;s and B&#039;s by regurgitating what your Western Civilization and Christianity hating leftist humanities and/or social science professors fed you doesn&#039;t denote intelligence of skill.</description>
