BTW, when I was in grade school we got to write an essay about whether it is better to have knowledge or money. The expectation was for the students to articulate why academic success is important e.g. "wealth can be lost but knowledge is always with you". My essay was in defense of money <vbg> I argued that given fair amount of knowledge a ton of money I can always outperform someone with a ton of knowledge/talent and fair amount of money. Among other things I argued that I could hire the smart fellow to make smart decisions for me...the teacher was both amused and upset; this was not the answer he wanted the class to hear.
