As I said I want to make money first. I just can't support an educational system MOO where my professors are increasing all thier economic gain before they let me in on it and keep me crushed down in poverty. You should already have enough wealth that your personal economic gain is no longer a consideration - this is a fundamental flaw with society. I would implore you MOO to try and get the market technicals program with MTA's help started in your area - if we help make everyone better market participants - the rising tide will lift all boats. One of my econ professors - he was buying up land in ga because he had inside info of where certain companies were coming - another got into some internet company stuff with inside info he had (stolen from his students basically) I am not going to pick on just them though - hehe - I had a few CS professors that did what I thought were pretty unethical things stealing research and software projects and passing it off as thier own and profiting handsomely. Those philosophy professors who taught critical thinking - they seemed to be so community oriented and buddha type you know - very different from the business and cs profs I had - hehe. Econ professors had houses over in nice side of town, or big expensive farms and nice new cars, philosophy folks - poor - no cars - poor houses - hehe. Gecko said greed is good though right? hehe I just watched this special on CSPAN today and they were talking about the supreme court justices and why they must be given lifetime appointments and paid well - so their personal economic interests do not interefere with good rule of law. Now MOO, if I gave you a lifetime appointment, and paid you much better than you are paid now - would you share that stuff you aren't now? I bet you would - so if a society's knowledge is its most important asset - why can't we pay professors the same way we do supreme court justices? Why create conflict and self economic interest in our educators? What a dumb national policy. Fundamentally why do you need lots of money - what is that going to give you that you don't have now? - I confess, if it weren't for hiedi types and wanderlust, I would need far less than I seem to now - hehe. Perhaps as I get much older, my needs for heidi types will slow and my reserves of wealth can go for other things - hehe.
