Let's try this again. If you bought a house for say, $20,000, and 30 years later it was appraised at $500000, then the bottom fell out of the housing market and you sold for $100000, what would be the change in initial asset value? A "loss" of $400000, or a "gain of $80000? Like you, anyone who would define that as a loss I would call retarded. Your words. Your insults. I'll give you time to write a program to figure that out, as I know it is difficult. BTW, anyone who would take the results of a Gallup poll and extrapolate it to define GWB as the "the most admired man in history" is clearly deluded.That is probably the dumbest thing you have posted since I have read SI, Let's set the record straight. The question read: "What man that you have heard or read about, living today in any part of the world, do you admire most?" Int the history of THE GALLUP POLL, begun in 1948, he scored the highest. FOR a MAN. Jackie Kennedy actually has the highest number. History, FYI, didn't start in 1948. To say "the most admired man in history" is about as intellectually dishonest as one can be . State the parameters of the question before you push this trash. Your statement is nothing but a con job, praising a man who may or may not be judged a great president. His actions over his term of office will determine that, not your false ramblings. Details, Tommy, details.
