If your law school is looking for a name for its new library, instead of selling the honor to a fat cat alumnus, you should consider the names of Lt. Cmdr. Charles Swift, Lt. Col. Mark Bridges, Col. Steven David, Lt. Col. Sharon Shaffer, Lt. Cmdr. Philip Sundel and Maj. Michael Mori.

Which is why we should have given the AF the green light to go ahead and kick arse at the beginning.

We should have cleaned up afghanistan then gone to Iraq and finished up.
But, as John Belushi would have said, "But, NOOOOOOOOO!"

We played namby pamby Good Guys and played by the rules.

GK brings up a good point.

The "lawerly" attitude of the people he mentioned is what Americans should be proud of and the reason that we should have stood with and behnd the men and women we sent to do that job overseas.

They should have done it quickly and with all available resources at their fingertips.

The money problems are our own fault. We want money and financial benefits without the sweat that our parents used to get what they got.

It's just gambling. Plain and simple. If we have a relative that goes and tosses the rent and food money away at a card table or slot machine we castigate them as having a gambling problem.

When our money disappears due to bad stock investments we cry and stomp our feet, never taking responsibility for the stupidity and greed that passes for 'investing in our future'. I heard a story of a woman who took 45k and invested it -only to lose it because of her desire to make money in a GAMBLE.

Do I feel bad for her? Yeah and then thank god that I am not that stupid to have fallen for the dream of easy money and the 'sure thing'.

EFF Keillor.

He's well off enough with his tales of LaLa Lakes and stories of make believe.

He's far enough away from Joe Sixer not to have to worry about what the future holds for the rest of us. Let's see how much he can sell the 'lake front' property he has made so much money on.

It's more rich person media horse shiat from someone who really can't tell me how I live because he don't have any idea. I live in a real world. Not next to a body of water that doesn't exist.

It's all greed, the thought of getting something for nothing and the idea of making a buck with out doing any work.


Blame it on the government and demand that your money be safe with their assurance.

It's all part of the great AMERICAN DREAM.

Capitalism is great. Yep, keep the government out of your business until you do something stupid. Then demand that they get involved with your bad choices, stupidity and greed.

The business, land values and money never goes bad in Lake Woebegone.

Keillor should know all about the dreams and make believe of the u.s. population at large. He's made scads of money on it.

Moron.
